I knew him from the papers, I had the opportunity to visit him in the beginning, I had repeated invitations, but I was pleased to take a privileged tour with the main artisans and connoisseurs of the project, Acad.Nicolae Zamfir and Ionel Andrei, the director of quality and supervision.And, with my eye as a missed mathematics teacher converted in security specialist, I managed to enjoy the miracle of the midst of Romania capable of sitting on the map of top scientific research in high power and nuclear research.
Innovations and patents at every step of the construction
First, the whole facility is a true UFO among the real estate constructions of the city and seems with 5 generations above what remained of the decommissioned nuclear research react..A building made with all the necessary levels - technology, buildings and scientific capabilities and top staff.
Here, in Măgurele, one third are our top Romanians, who make the apprenticeship and qualify or not to enter the foreground of the activities in the sensitive areas of unique experiments in the world, another third are repatriated, with the most diverse ones.and performance positions - aircraft pilot, aircraft builder, physicists and nuclear reactors operators - all over the world, and another third are foreigners directly engaged in the project or part of the partner institutions that install the different components.A Babel tower that speaks Romanian, English and French, with English Lingua Franca even for the French from Thales who install lasers.
It is about personalities and people extremely well trained and performing, each in its field, a collection of geniuses and an unmatched agglutination of gray substance, where the average IQ strongly exceeds the average citizens from the nearby locality..The more science and intellectual substance, personality, the more difficult to harmonize and lead this synthesis of specialists, each indispensable and useful in its place.But perhaps the most spectacular is the built assembly and the technical solutions found which, if not many of them manufacturing secrets, should each have a patent at each screw put there.
Special materials, unique equipment and built for the first time, energy - 5 MW - extracted on a geothermal basis, a system of springs and shock absorbers that support a foundation - 100 concrete slab.000 tonnes with a maximum movement of 1 micron between its ends - not to influence any type of trepidation, I do not say earthquakes, no experiment.Imagine that, no matter what would happen next to the facility next to Măgurele, the difference between the most distant ends of the foundation on which the power lasers are perfectly horizontal is a tenth of the thickness of the hair.
We are not talking about the conditions of environment, pressure, humidity, cleaning - strictly controlled.So -called "white rooms" are kept in draconian cleaning limits because no dust particle should alter the experiments and collisions of photons, expected after the completion of the second component, the ray source.This is where the struggle for installing it, after postponements, delays, claims that led to the cancellation of the contract and the change of the supplier - elements on which I do not want to insist..These are the premiere experiments announcing a queue at the Nobel prizes for physics.

Nobel Prize Factory
Thus we have a unique scientific and research capability in the world, at which the experiments have already started.They are made at 3 laser facilities in a flow of 0.1 pw, while the 1 pw laser is preparing for approval at CNCAN.And the 10 pw - the tenth part of the power of the Sun - is mounted and will follow the approval.He has already drawn at least ten beams with a power of 10 pw and proved the touch of technical specifications.Installation of the Gama source is on the road, in an American version.From here the source of the great controversies related to Măgurele, otherwise a project with European funding but also a Romanian project, at the same time.
With such unique facilities in the world, until this hour-and probably in the next 3-5 years, with the possibility that this period extends if the energy of the beam grows-Eli NP becomes a true Nobel prize factory.This is because what we have here exceeds in sophistication and efficiency any other Romanian research capacity.And the prospects of using it in clashes between photons and various materials or, in the future, to clashes between photons and electrons, can lead to the discovery of new particles, finding rules in fundamental theoretical physical research, can validate or deny the theories of the world genesis and theoriescan bring prestige unusual to Romania.
In fact, I had the joy of seeing peak products, unique, unique, used in experiments, made in Romania.It is something to be able to adapt the production of series and traveled on the efficiency and profit of a company to a unique project, with strict technical specifications and with criteria for verifying the quality without seam..I do not advertise, I do not call companies, but I think there is another achievement we need to note.
Information security and war issues: NATO level at Eli NP
If the mathematics I remember and the physics I have left-from the national Olympiad of 1984, the only year of high school in which I was not at the Mathematics Nationals-they helped me to understand the complexity and what I doAll those unique machines, which I saw and touched, the last job that I practice for over 20 years pushed me to look at the security area.And here I believe that Măgurele and the Eli NP project must be in the foreground of the attention and interests of Romanian official officials.
First the level of access is similar to that of NATO headquarters.For people with Clearence from the Member States, with the right of access, not for partners and third parties.It is very important to work this extremely strict system and without any obstacle or mistake.However, the most serious security threats to the facility come from the issue of the relationship between protecting intellectual rights through patents and publication, and the need to maintain the level of secret of calibration experiments and intermediate results within the project.Therefore, here the results of the experiments must be treated very seriously, and the team should be perfectly secured for its own peace and safety and for the integrity of the experiments and the achievements obtained here.
Then, following the exchanges of public replicas that invade the mass media and the external pressure related to the project components, I realized that Eli NP urgently needs a team to ensure the ability to counteract the information war with external sources, and campaignstriggered at the project address.A form of aggression that reaches not rarely with narrow political areas and personal interests, with the penetration of the intimate space of the research teams already employed and with the right of access in the facility. Un lider de echipă cunoscător în ale războiului informaţional, al instrumentarului dezinformării şi a operaţiunilor psihologice, cu resurse şi oameni care să poată identifica problemele şi să contracareze eforturile de subminare a intereselor facilităţii româneşti.It is extremely necessary for these adjuvant but essential elements to the good functioning of the project to be selected and to reach Măgurele as soon as possible, with the support of the Romanian state institutions.
Last but not least, I must notice the interest of specialized institutions in protecting what we have in Măgurele and the efficient use of this technological and intellectual richness..The practical applicability of these experiments is extremely important.I have registered the same effort to undermine the project and to make the achievements, blocking the complete installation of unique equipment and timely triggering of spectacular and unique experiments.Moreover, the public research directions and themes proposed as a result of internal discussions, as debates on certain perspectives in which unquestionable persons and specialization were launched were transported in the mass media and the public space..The denigration of these themes and the visions it presents has only made these outings cover the real action carried out at the same time, by exposing itself innocent and innocent, in the public space, of the most intimate research lines, of the expert experiments and results, what is to be verified.
Elimination of the half -life in the treatment of radioactive waste as a result of the use of high power laser, the use of these facilities in medical therapies, other prepared experiments should not be subject to exchange of replicas of some profanes, at the level of a bar after a few glasses..These disturbing elements should be supervised much more carefully and much better secured, in parallel with the elimination of the unintelligibles involved by raising access to sensitive areas.Those who use their position inside the project as a trampoline for their own becoming, others directly serving foreign interests to the general effort in favor of science and Romania should be excluded from the project.Opinion of all institutions with such responsibilities.And yes, perhaps direct and assumed support for Eli NP would not ruin this scientific jewel from Măgurele.
