Overview
Yasuhiko Takeiri for LHD Experiment Group
The final goal of the LHD project is to obtain the high performance helical plasma relevant to the fusion reactor, i.e., ion and electron temperature T_i > 10 keV, volume averaged beta > 5 %, fusion triple product n_e tau_E Ti > 1020 keV m^-3 s, and long pulse length of more than 3600 s with heating power of 3 MW. In order to achieve this...

Overview
The ITER project is a critical step in the development of fusion energy: its role is to confirm the feasibility of exploiting magnetic confinement fusion for the production of energy for peaceful purposes by providing an integrated demonstration of the physics and technology required for a fusion power plant. Rapid progress is being made in the design, manufacturing, construction and R&D...

Overview
The DIII-D tokamak has addressed key issues to advance the physics basis for burning plasmas for ITER and future steady-state fusion devices. Developments on ITER scenarios include the discovery of a new wide-pedestal variant of QH-mode where increased edge transport is found to allow higher pedestal pressure, consistent with peeling-ballooning theory, and complete ELM suppression in...

Overview
The JET contributors
Europe has elaborated a Roadmap to the realisation of fusion energy in which ‘ITER is the key facility and its success is the most important overarching objective of the programme’. We review the contribution of the recent JET experiments with the ITER first wall materials mix, and, the underlying physics understanding to mitigate the scientific risks identified in the...
