Thank you very much for having participated in:

the 2nd NIFS-CRC* International Symposium on Plasma-Surface Interactions

which was held for Jan. 18th-20th, 2010, combining the two workshops:

the 1st International Workshop on "Lithium Applications to Boundary Control and their Effects on Core Plasma Performance in Fusion Devices"
and
the 3rd Korea-Japan Workshop on "Edge-Plasma and Surface Component Interactions in Steady State Magnetic Fusion Devices"

The 2nd NIFS-CRC* international symposium on plasma-surface interactions will be held at NIFS in Toki, Japan for Jan. 18th-20th, 2010. The purpose of this symposium is to bring together world-leading experts in the area of research related to plasma-surface interactions in fusion devices, so that recent progress and technical issues can be discussed for the development of future power reactors.

This symposium will be composed of sessions of topics covered by the two workshops:
(1) the 1st International workshop on "Lithium applications to boundary control and their effects on core plasma performance in fusion devices"; and
(2) the 3rd Korea-Japan workshop on "Edge-plasma and surface component interactions in steady state magnetic fusion devices".

Topics for (1):
1. Lithium effects on edge and core plasma properties in confinement devices;
2. Laboratory experiments on plasma-lithium interactions;
3. Solid, liquid and vapor lithium handling technologies;
4. Innovative concepts for lithium applications to future reactors;
5. Simulations and modeling of lithium behavior; and
6. Other related subjects to above.

Topics for (2):
1. Boundary physics and PSI-issues in confinement devices;
2. Laboratory experiments on plasma-surface interactions;
3. Particle control (fueling and recycling);
4. Atomic and molecular processes;
5. Edge plasma diagnostics;
6. Simulations and modeling of plasma-surface interactions; and
7. Other related subjects to above.

Advisory committee:
A. Komori (Dir. Gen. NIFS), M. Sato (Dir. NIFS-CRC*) and H. Yamada (Dir. NIFS-LHD**).
