Overview
Fast ignition has high potential to ignite a fusion fuel with only about one tenth of laser energy necessary for the central ignition. One of the most advanced fast ignition programs is the Fast Ignition Realization Experiment (FIREX). The goal of its first phase is to demonstrate ignition temperature of 5 keV, followed by the second phase to demonstrate ignition-and-burn. Relativistic fast...

Overview
In 2009, after a complex start-up phase due to the necessity to carry out a re-baselining effort to fit in the original budget while aiming to retain the machine mission, performance, and experimental flexibility, detailed design of the project was begun. In 2012, with the majority of time-critical industrial contracts in place, it was possible to establish a credible time plan, and now the...

Overview
Since the last IAEA-FEC, significant progress has been made on EAST on both physics and technology fronts towards the long-pulse operation of high-confinement plasma regimes. EAST has been upgraded with more than 25 MW of CW heating & current drive power, along with 70 diagnostics, two internal cryopumps, an ITER-like W monoblock top divertor and resonant magnetic perturbation coils, which...

Overview
Since the initial long-pulse H-mode operation in 2012, the H-mode has been sustained longer and the operational regime of plasma parameters has been significantly extended in KSTAR tokamak. The progress in long-pulse operation is mainly due both to the increased NBI heating power of PNBI ~ 3.5 MW and the advance in the shaping control which is not trivial with slow superconducting coils. In...
