Progress of JT-60SA project towards an integrated research for ITER and DEMO

The project mission of JT-60SA is to contribute to early realization of fusion energy by supporting exploitation of ITER and by complementing ITER for DEMO. The JT-60SA has been designed as a highly shaped large superconducting tokamak with variety of plasma actuators in order to satisfy all of the central research needs for ITER and DEMO. By integrating advanced studies in each research field, the project proceeds ‘simultaneous & steady-state sustainment of the key performances required for DEMO’ with ‘integrated control scenario development’. Procurements are on schedule towards the first plasma in 2016.
