  • Braehead Iron Age Settlement
    RLHF Journal Vol.11 (2001/2) 3. Braehead Ironage Settlement — A Volunteer’s Tale Bruce Henry [First published in A Touch of GAS Autumn 2001] 1939 - the Luftwaffe take some aerial photos of Barclay Curle, Scotstoun, the docks and Renfrew - Braehead stands out clearly. 1950s - Dr. J. K. S. St Joseph takes further photos of the farmland to the west of King George V Dock. 1968 - the RAF take even more photos of the area. With all this photography going on something had to be found to justify it so in March 1973 the late Jack G. Scott started excavating a ditched enclosure identified from the air at Shiels Farm, soon to be developed as a whisky blending and bottling plant (a waste of good malt). He had a grand total of under 10 excavators, but he called in the first volunteers – always assuming the Luftwaffe and RAF used conscripts. By August 1974, the familiar team of students and volunteers had established sites of at least three round houses within the 45m (max) diameter oval ditch dating from the late Bronze/early Iron Age. Over a quarter of a century later, word got out that Ikea were planning to open a store at the Braehead shopping development. As the only substantial piece of land lay between the whisky bottling plant and the KGV Dock, close to Jack Scott’s enclosure, the aerial photographs were revisited. A vague outline of a possibly similar site was identified as worthy of further investigation. Then one evening in late 1999, when heading to a meeting of the Renfrewshire Local History Forum, Derek Alexander noticed that heaps of spoil had been dumped on the site.

  • EFDA-JET Bulletin
    EFDA-JET Bulletin JET Recent Results and Planning March 2006 On 23rd January 2006, the EFDA Associate Leader for JET Dr Jérôme Paméla presented the JET 2005 report and future programme in a seminar at the JET site. In his talk, Dr Paméla outlined the most recent news regarding fusion, the 2005 JET main events and scientific highlights, the 2006 JET programme, and planning beyond 2006. "2005 was a key year for fusion with the decision on siting ITER in Cadarache taken by the parties on 28 June 2005. India joined in November and ITER negotiations were completed in December 2005. The negotiation with Japan led to other projects being jointly prepared between the European Union and Japan, the so-called ‘Broader Approach’, a very good opportunity for faster development of fusion," stressed Dr Paméla. Some of the scientific results obtained at JET in 2005, which were outlined in the talk, are presented in this Bulletin. The current European fusion research strategy, reflected in the longer-term planning for JET, was also described in detail. In the upcoming campaigns significant enhancement of the JET facility, towards higher power with the ITER-like plasma shape will allow JET to perform important experiments in preparation of ITER. At the end of this year, an ITER-like ICRH Antenna is to be installed which will open new scope for reactor-relevant research at JET. These experiments shall be followed by the installation of an ITER-like first wall scheduled for 2008 (see the June 2005 JET Bulletin). JET in the Physics World The March issue of the Institue of Physics magazine, Physics World, carries an 8 page special feature on JET.

We will be close to delivering the targets we have set for 2032 for energy efficiency, low carbon heat and transport. Our electricity and gas networks will be fundamental to this progress across Scotland and there will be new ways of designing, operating and regulating them to ensure that they are used efficiently. The policy context The energy transition must also be inclusive – all parts of society should be able to benefit. The Scotland’s Energy Strategy sets out a vision options we identify must make sense no matter for the energy system in Scotland until 2050 – what pathways to decarbonisation might targeting a sustainable and low carbon energy emerge as the best.
