  23. Until ITER starts: JET still has significant technical capabilities which can be used to prepare for ITER operation On short-term (2005/2006), JET’s scientific capabilities are being extended, with construction of: “ ITER-like ” antenna and new plasma diagnostics JET’s key components (vacuum vessel, magnets) have not been used for more than 15% of their fatigue lifetime, although regular maintenance is needed on auxiliaries On longer term (2007-2010), JET can be used: • to develop further operating scenarios inconditions closest to those of ITER; • to optimise more ITER auxiliaries Requires “ITER-like” wall conditions andincreased heating power 20th IEA LTA ExCom M. L. Watkins PPPL, Princeton, NJ, USA, 9 May 2005

  24. Decide as late as possible (2007) “ITER-like” wall experiment on JETOnly JET can prepare ITER operation with the relevant materials combination 20th IEA LTA ExCom M. L. Watkins PPPL, Princeton, NJ, USA, 9 May 2005

  27. ELMs have to be mitigated • ITER will operate with transient loads near (ELMs) and beyond (disruptions) material damage thresholds • JET just reaches this regime with DWELM ~ 1 MJ ELMs • Methods of mitigation - natural (Type-II, EDA, Grassy, Type-III, QH,…) - externally imposed (pellets, impurity seeding, perturbation coils,...) 20th IEA LTA ExCom M.

L. Watkins PPPL, Princeton, NJ, USA, 9 May 2005

  30. Conclusions • JET’s programme is focused on the preparation of ITER operation, building on significant progress in the development of plasma scenarios and in physics. • The scientific capability of the device is being improved significantly this year and next year (heating, diagnostics, divertor). • A programme based on an “ITER-like” wall and increased heating power is being prepared for 2007 and beyond (FP7). • EFDA Steering Committee recently approved“ITER-like” wall, Neutral Beam and Pellet projects. Diagnostic proposals still under elaboration.Other possible proposals being defined. 20th IEA LTA ExCom M. L. Watkins PPPL, Princeton, NJ, USA, 9 May 2005
