JT-60
JT-60 (JT stands for Japan Torus) is the flagship of Japan's magnetic fusion program, run by the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), and the Naka Fusion Research Establishment in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. In operation since 1985, it holds several world records, including Q, the ratio of power generated versus input power (1.25, in 1998, breaking energetic break-even), ion temperature (520 Megakelvin, in 1996-1997), and fusion triple product (1.77x10^28 <math>K \cdot sec/m^3</math>). 1.
JT-60 is a typical Tokamak with a D-shaped poloidal cross-section, similar to JET. Experimental results obtained by the reactor will no doubt be of great importance to the ITER experiment.
The main future objective of JT-60 is to realize high-beta steady-state operation in the use of reduced radio-activation ferritic steel in a collision-less regime.
