Diagnostics and instrumentation

Invited Plenary

Plasma measurements are an important part of spaceflight missions that seek to understand the formation and evolution of our solar system. Instrumentation has been designed for a wide variety of environments and measurement goals. We have developed plasma instrumentation that will fly within 9 solar-radii of the surface of the sun on NASA’s Solar Probe Plus Mission. At the other extreme, we...

Experimental devices

Invited Plenary

JT-60SA is a highly shaped large superconducting Tokamak device. The project mission of JT-60SA is to contribute to early realization of fusion energy by supporting the exploitation of ITER and by complementing ITER in resolving key physics and engineering issues for DEMO with a variety of plasma actuators (heating, current drive, momentum input, stability control coils, resonant magnetic...

505. Progress in the EU DEMO Research and Design Activity

Next step devices, DEMO, power plants

Invited Plenary

As part of the Roadmap to Fusion Electricity, Horizon 2020, Europe initiated a pre-conceptual design study of a Demonstration Fusion Reactor Concept (DEMO) a few years ago, which targets the generation of a few hundred MW of net electricity and the demonstration of a closed tritium fuel cycle in the 2050s.

The design and R&D approach adopted include some distinctive elements such as: 1) a...
