This article provides an overview of the main characteristics of SiCf/SiC that suggest the use
of this SiC-based composite as a structural material for the blanket in future fusion reactors …

Nuclear fusion power delivered by magnetic-confinement tokamak reactors holds the
promise of sustainable and clean energy. The avoidance of large-scale plasma instabilities …

In 2021 JET exploited its unique capabilities to operate with T and DT fuel with an ITER-like
Be/W wall (JET-ILW). This second major JET DT campaign (DTE2), after DTE1 in 1997 …

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 …

This paper reviews current understanding of key physics elements that control the H-mode
pedestal structure, which exists at the boundary of magnetically confined plasmas. The …

JET underwent a transformation from a full carbon-dominated tokamak to a fully metallic
device with beryllium in the main chamber and a tungsten divertor. This material …

Since 2016, the JET scientific programme is engaged in a multi-campaign effort including
experiments in D, H and T [1], leading to 2020 and the first experiments with 50%/50% D–T …

Abstract The JET ITER-Like Wall experiment (JET-ILW) provides an ideal test bed to
investigate plasma-surface interaction (PSI) and plasma operation with the ITER plasma …

The behaviour of tungsten in the core of hybrid scenario plasmas in JET with the ITER-like
wall is analysed and modelled with a combination of neoclassical and gyrokinetic codes. In …

Disruptions are a major operational concern for next generation tokamaks, including ITER.
They may generate excessive heat loads on plasma facing components, large …
