Subject field(s)
  • Thermonuclear fusion
DEF

... the largest nuclear fusion experimental reactor yet built.

CONT

Situated on an old Navy airfield near Culham, Oxfordshire, in the UK, construction was started in 1978 and the first experiments began in 1983. JET is equipped with remote handling facilities to cope with the radioactivity produced by Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) fuel, which is the fuel proposed for the first generation of fusion power plants. Pending construction of ITER, JET remains the only large fusion reactor with facilities dedicated to handling the radioactivity release from D-T fusion. The power production record breaking runs from JET and TFTR [Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor] used 50-50 D-T fuel mixes.

DEF

Plus grand réacteur à fusion nucléaire existant.

CONT

Nous avons déjà testé l’utilisation de robots dans le réacteur expérimental Joint European Torus (JET).

CONT

Le réacteur JET a permis de réaliser des progrès considérables. Actuellement encore, JET figure parmi les réacteurs expérimentaux de fusion les plus performants.

OBS

Les trois plus grands tokamaks sont : le JET (Joint European Torus), réalisé à Culham, en Grande-Bretagne, par un effort commun des dix pays membres de l’Euratom, auxquels se sont jointes la Suisse et la Suède [...]

  • Atomic Physics
CONT

The INTOR study was started under the auspices of the IAEA, at the end of 1978, as a collective effort by Europe, Japan, the US and the Soviet Union, to define an international Next Step project.

OBS

The IEAE convened the INTOR (International Tokamak Reactor) workshop to assess the existing database and the required research and development for construction of the most advanced tokamak in the early 1990s as an international project. Representatives from Euratom, Japan, USSR and USA took part in this study, supported by 100 specialists from these four participating groups.
