Overview
The ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) programme, jointly run with the EUROfusion MST1 task force, continues to enhance significantly the physics base of ITER and DEMO. Here, the full tungsten wall is a key asset for extrapolating to future devices. The high overall heating power and flexible heating mix and comprehensive diagnostic set allows studies ranging from mimicking the scrape-off-layer (SOL) and...

Overview
Significant progress in the development of plasma control mechanism and understanding the related physics for steady-state advanced high-performance H-mode plasmas have been achieved on EAST since the last IAEA FEC in 2016. First demonstration of >100 seconds time scale long-pulse steady-state scenario with a good plasma performance (H98(y2) ~ 1.1) and a good control of impurity and heat...

Overview
The KSTAR research efforts have been focused on expansion of the KSTAR operating space for ITER and K-DEMO[1], validation of critical physics and search of new physics. The operating regimes are high bp (up to ~2.8) non-inductive long pulse up to ~8s, high bN up to ~ 4.3, and k of ~2.16 and a long H-mode discharge over a minute. An improved underlying physics of resonant and non-resonant...

Overview
Alcator C-Mod has been the only divertor tokamak in the world capable of operating at magnetic fields up to 8 T, equaling and exceeding that planned for ITER. Because of its relatively compact size, C-Mod accesses regimes of extreme edge power density (1 MW/m2 average through the surface of the plasma. H-modes on C-Mod have achieved world-record tokamak volume-average and pedestal plasma...

Overview
Indirect drive converts high power laser into x rays using small high-Z cavities called hohlraums. X rays generated at the hohlraum walls drive a capsule filled with DT fusion fuel. Recent experiments have produced fusion yields exceeding 50 kJ where alpha heating provides ~3x increase in yield over PdV work. Comparison of the results to the common Lawson criterion suggests the current...
