The JET programme in 2019–2020 focussed on preparing for the exploitation of JET's
currently unique capabilities, tritium handling and ITER-like wall (ILW: Be first wall and W …

The European DEMO is a pulsed device with pulse length of 2 hours. The functions devoted
to the heating and current drive system are: plasma breakdown, plasma ramp-up to the flat …

For more than a decade, an unprecedented predict-first activity has been carried in order to
predict the fusion power and provide guidance to the second Deuterium–Tritium (D–T) …

Alpha particles with energies on the order of megaelectronvolts will be the main source of
plasma heating in future magnetic confinement fusion reactors. Instead of heating fuel ions …

In the paper we present an overview of interpretive modelling of a database of JET-ILW
2021 DT discharges using the TRANSP code. The main aim is to assess our capability of …

The viability of magnetic confinement fusion as an energy source depends on achieving the
high ion temperatures required for DT fusion. Among the available techniques, plasma …

Long-pulse operation of a self-sustained fusion reactor using toroidal magnetic containment
requires control over the content of alpha particles produced by DT fusion reactions. On the …

A new deuterium–tritium experimental, DTE2, campaign has been conducted at the Joint
European Torus (JET) between August 2021 and late December 2021. Motivated by …

Fast ions in the MeV-range can be diagnosed by neutron emission spectroscopy (NES) and
gamma-ray spectroscopy (GRS). In this work, we present orbit weight functions for one-step …

The pre-conceptual layout for an electron cyclotron system (ECS) in DEMO is described. The
present DEMO ECS considers only equatorial ports for both plasma heating and …
