FUNFI-IT - Italian Meeting on Fusion Neutrons for Fission

FUNFI-IT is the first edition of the Italian workshop dedicated to the physics, technology and engineering of machines where nuclear fusion reactions drive a fission blanket. Such hybrid devices are presently considered for energy generation, fissile fuel production, nuclear waste transmutation and tritium production. FUNFI-IT is organized by ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development), INFN (Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics), Consortium RFX (National Research Council), Sapienza University of Rome, University of Genoa (UNIGE) and CREF (Enrico Fermi Research Centre).

Location: Aula Enrico Fermi | Centro Ricerche Enrico Fermi, piazza del Viminale - Roma
