Overview
IFMIF, the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility, presently in its Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities (EVEDA) phase under the Broader Approach Agreement, will allow accelerated testing of structural materials with fusion relevant neutrons at >20dpa/year in 500cm3.
IFMIF consists of two 125 mA and 40 MeV D+ linear accelerators operating in CW mode. The...

Overview
Here we report recent progress of the fast ignition inertial confinement fusion demonstration. Fraction of low energy (< 1 MeV) component of the relativistic electron beam (REB), which efficiently heats the fuel core, increases by the factor of 4 by enhancing pulse contrast of heating laser and removing preformed plasma sources. Kilo-tesla magnetic field is studied to guide the diverging REB...

Overview
A. Steady State Superconducting Tokamak (SST-1) is a `operational’ experimental superconducting device since late 2013. Since last IAEA-FEC; SST-1 has been upgraded with Plasma Facing Components being installed and integrated in the vacuum vessel and is getting prepared towards long pulse operations in both circular and elongated configurations. The PFC integration has been completed in August...

Overview
Recent experiments on the HL-2A tokamak have been aimed at the major challenges relevant to ITER operation and fusion energy development. Significant progress has been achieved in many areas, including the first demonstration of high coupling efficiency of LHCD passive-active multi-junction (PAM) antenna in H-mode discharges, pedestal instability and dynamics, ITB formation mechanism,...

Overview
Review of the recent experimental results obtained on the T-10 tokamak is presented. To decrease the level of light impurities in 2015 both the rail and circular limiters were replaced with ones made of tungsten. The used tungsten type «POLEMA» as well as the technology of its soldering to the bronze substrate are similar to those applied for the production of the ITER divertor tiles. In the...
