David Ruzic, Abel Bliss Professor of 
Nuclear Plasma and Radiological Engineering and      
Director of the Center for Plasma Material Interactions
Daniel Andruczyk, Associate Research Professor, NPRE           

Professors Ruzic and Andruczyk will give you a guided tour of the plasma facilities in the Center for Plasma Material Interactions laboratories, and they will blow up a few things for you. They will tell you about and show you how plasmas are used to make everything from semiconductor chips to fusion energy.  In addition, they will tell you about a GIANT FUSION DEVICE operating at Illinois. HIDRA (Hybrid Illinois Device for Research and Applications) weighs 70 tons and will use 2,000,000 Watts of electricity. Hail HIDRA!

**NOTE:  For logistical reasons, this SAS will be limited to the first 15 confirmed registrants.**
