Objective
A) Ecole Royale Militaire - Koninklijke Militaire School
The research programme of the LPP-ERM/KMS during the period 1988- 1992 is concentrated on the following main lines related to the ion cyclotron heating of large machines:
- Extensive studies of ion cyclotron on TEXTOR (at KFA Julich) with the upgraded ICRH system at the level of 4 MW and for pulses of 3 s.
- Theoretical activity on problems related to ICRH.
B) Universite Libre de Bruxelles
A programme on dense and strongly coupled plasma transport theory will be continued in the forthcoming period.
Finally, a programme in laser theory will also be pursued.
C) SCK/CEN Mol
A programme along the following lines is envisaged:
a) NET and long-term technology
- Blanket and first-wall engineering
- Ceramic breeder materials
- Liquid metals
- Structural materials
- Remote maintenance
- Tritium (Electroyse, extraction from Pb-17Li,aqueous self-cooled blanket)
b) JET related tasks
ASSOCIATION EURATOM/Etat Belge (ERM/KMS)
History of Association/Laboratory
The Association started in 1969 with the team of the Plasma Physics Laboratory of ERM/KMS and with the Plasma Physics group of Chimie-Physique II of ULB. In 1982, CEN/SCK became the third group in the Association.
Present scientific and technical programme
Theory and experiments of ion-cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) of tokamaks. The Laboratory has full responsibility for the 4 MW-15 second ICRH system on the TEXTOR tokamak of KFA Jülich. It is also concerned with the physics of heating (neutral beam injection and radio frequency), current drive, confinement and plasma edge properties with ICRH, neutral beam injection or combined operation on TEXTOR.

Present scientific and technical programme
- Theoretical Problems of Plasma Physics in connection with fusion research.
- Transport Processes in Plasmas.

ASSOCIATION EURATOM/Etat Belge (SCK.CEN)
History of Association/Laboratory
An initial contract of collaboration, on thermonuclear fusion research, between the Association Euratom-Belgian State and the SCK.CEN was concluded on December 22, 1975.
In 1982, the SCK.CEN became an associated laboratory.
Present scientific and technical programme
The fusion work at SCK.CEN focuses on environmental tolerence of opto-electronic and electric components, on materials characterisation and recently also on fusion reactor safety. In the near future the SCK.CEN work in the technology field for thermonuclear fusion will continue in the above mentioned fields. For a medium long range SCK.CEN envisage to embarque on integrated tests of fusion machine components.
