The JET Team 1 (presented by M. Pick )

JET Joint Undertaking, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
Abstract
The recent operational phase in JET in which Deuterium-Tritium fuel
was used (DTE1) resulted in record breaking fusion performance. In addition to
important contributions in plasma physics, the JET Team has also made major
advances in demonstrating the viability of some of the key technologies
required for the realisation of future fusion power . Two of the most important
technological areas which have been successfully demonstrated in JET are the
ITER scale tritium processing plant and the exchange of the divertor and
maintenance of the interior of JET by totally remote means. The experiment
also provided the first data on tritium retention and co-deposition in a
diverted tokamak. Of the 35g of tritium injected into the JET torus, about 6g
remained in the tokamak. The amount resides mainly on cool surfaces at the
inboard divertor side. The precise, safe and timely execution of the remote
handling shutdown proved that the design, function, performance and
operational methodology of the RH equipment prepared over the years at JET are
appropriate for the successful and rapid replacement of components in an
activated tokamak environment.
