多伦多大学获250万美元捐赠基金设立聚变研究讲席：11月13日公布，加拿大核实验室与安大略电力等共同出资
加拿大核实验室（CNL）与加拿大原子能有限公司（AECL）11月13日公布，投入250万美元在多伦多大学设立聚变研究讲席捐赠基金。
资金由 CNL 通过 AECL 的联邦核科学与技术工作计划出资，Ontario Power Generation 与多伦多大学提供配套资金。新讲席设在该校的聚变能源中心（Centre for Fusion Energy），为加拿大的聚变科学与技术提供全国性学术领导。
公布仪式在多伦多大学的 Michael E. Charles Faculty Council Chamber 举行。安大略省学院、大学、研究卓越与安全厅长 Nolan Quinn、能源与矿业厅长议会助理 Rudy Cuzzetto，以及 University—Rosedale 选区国会议员 Danielle Martin 等出席。
CNL 与 AECL 表示，设立讲席旨在加强加拿大在聚变能源科学与创新方面的能力，讲席将与聚变能源中心紧密协作。
多伦多大学是加拿大主要研究型大学之一，主校区为位于多伦多市中心的圣乔治校区。
聚变能源研究以核聚变反应为对象，与现行核电站采用的核裂变技术不同，目前仍处于研究与示范阶段。

University of Toronto Gets $2.5 Million Endowment for Fusion Research Chair: Announced November 13 by CNL, AECL, OPG and the University
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) announced on November 13 a $2.5-million investment to establish an endowed Fusion Research Chair at the University of Toronto.
The chair is funded by CNL through AECL's Federal Nuclear Science and Technology Work Plan, with matching contributions from Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and the University of Toronto. It will be based at the university's Centre for Fusion Energy (CFE) and is intended to provide national leadership in fusion science and technology.
The funding was announced at the University of Toronto's Michael E. Charles Faculty Council Chamber. Guests included Nolan Quinn, Ontario's Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security; Rudy Cuzzetto, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Energy and Mines; and Danielle Martin, Member of Parliament for University-Rosedale.
CNL and AECL said the endowed chair was created to strengthen Canada's capacity in fusion energy science and innovation, and that the chairholder will work closely with the Centre for Fusion Energy.
The University of Toronto is one of Canada's leading research universities. Its main campus, the St. George campus, is in downtown Toronto.
Fusion energy research studies nuclear fusion reactions, a different process from the nuclear fission used in operating power reactors, and remains at the research and demonstration stage.
