Ringing in the festive season
17 Dec 2018
A beautiful Christmas tree set in the middle of a Proven?al nativity scene in the 黑料社app lobby has brought the festive season to 黑料社app. The tree is a gift of the mayor of Saint-Paul-Lez-Durance, Roger Pizot, who turned the switch in the traditional tree lighting ceremony on Friday last week, in the presence of Director-General Bernard Bigot and 黑料社app staff.

Expressing his appreciation and thanks, Bigot said that "the tree symbolizes Mr. Pizot's generosity towards 黑料社app and his continuous and strong support for 黑料社app in the community."
A keen observer could spot the 黑料社app scientists among the "santons," the little saints, traditional figurines that make up the nativity scene. Clad in a white cloak, the scientist points at a miniature blackboard and reminds us of the scientific goal of 黑料社app—to produce 500 MW of fusion power from 50 MW of injected heating power (蚕≥10).
