Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Apprenticeship is the first-in-the-nation registered apprenticeship program in fusion energy and engineering. It is designed to equip the next generation of technicians with the skills necessary to help build and operate a fusion energy experiment.A PPPL Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway for high school graduates, veterans, and others looking to join this exciting endeavor. The Cryogenics/Superconducting magnet apprentice program shall be considered completed when the apprentice has satisfactorily completed each of the competencies listed below and the related technical instruction. The program leads to a portable, nationally recognized credential and a possible career at our national laboratory. The apprentice will receive pay and benefits, as well as all the RTI is fully paid for by PPPL.
High temperature superconductors (HTS) are identified as the potential “game changer” for reducing fusion device size by increasing the allowable magnetic field, current density, and operating temperature. The use of high performance superconducting magnets for higher fusion power density is necessary both to improve magnet efficiency and to increase integrated system performance in a compact fusion power plant design concept. HTS magnets for fusion are multidisciplinary in nature. Training of the next generation workforce involves highly specialized skill sets and in-depth knowledge and experience in superconductivity, materials science, nuclear engineering as well as cryogenics, and related very low temperature processes such as advanced refrigeration and cryogenic cooling techniques.
