LCC Engineering Society trip to JET
in Blog
Lucy Cavenish College Engineering Society organised trip to JET (Joint European Torus) in Culham, Oxfordshire. A total of 37 students attended, with some from Downing and Emmanuel Colleges Engineering Societies.
As Treasurer, I organised transport and sourced funding for Lucy students from our colleges STEMM support fund.
The day started with a presentation on the history of JET and the science behind nuclear fusion. We were then taken on a tour of the facility, including the control room, the RACE (Remote Applications in Challenging Environments) building and a replica of the toka-mak. Unfortunately, we were unable to see the actual toka-mak as tests were being run on it at the time.
