Third ITER program on TLP

6 Jun 2009 - Robert Arnoux

The program features interviews with Akko Maas, Chang Jun, Neil Mitchell, Olivier Guérin and people who wonder what a "tokamak" could possibly be.

On Friday, 5 June at 5:00 p.m. the local TV channel Télé Locale Provence (TLP) began broadcasting the third program of a series entitled "Une énergie pour notre avenir" (Energy for our future).
