Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory to Host Open House May 1 - Fusion, Food, and Fun for Everyone

Come to the hottest place in New Jersey and find out about fusion energy - the process that powers the sun and other stars. The U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) will host an Open House on Saturday, May 1, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Last admittance is at 3:30 p.m. The event will be held rain or shine.
        Self-guided tours and a host of science and safety activities for all ages are scheduled throughout the day. Visitors can tour a fusion machine, talk to scientists and engineers, see scientific exhibits and demonstrations, listen to fusion energy research talks, and watch a cryogenics show - and it's all free. Light refreshments and souvenirs will be available.
        Photo IDs are required of visitors 18 and older. The Laboratory is at Princeton University's James Forrestal Campus off U.S. Route 1 in Plainsboro, N.J. PPPL, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and managed by Princeton University, advances the coupled fields of fusion energy and plasma physics. For more information, go to www.pppl.gov.
