With your cooperation, we will be completing our 6th cycle LHD experiment on February 7, 2003. Currently, we are analyzing the experiment data with our best. The report should be published any time soon. Taking this opportunity, we would like to apologize for the fire that happened during the experiment. The incident, we are afraid, must have troubled as much as worried you. Please accept our sincerest apology.

Besides the DC power supply for the ion cyclotron heating which was the cause of the fire, we are now working our best to provide a safest environment for the upcoming 7th cycle experiment.

At the end, we will truly appreciate your understanding and support.
