  3. IFMIF IFMIF (international fusion materials irradiation facility) will be a neutron source based on a stripping reaction between two deuteron beams and a lithium target aimed to generate a fusion reactor relevant radiation environment with a high neutron flux Hence IFMIF will evaluate irradiation performance of the structural materials under fusion typical conditions -> needed for DEMO.

  4. Current activities: IFMIF/EVEDA • The Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities, conducted in the framework of the Broader Approach aim at: • Providing the Engineering Design of IFMIF • Validating the key technologies, more particularly • The low energy part of the accelerator (very high intensity, D+ CW beam) • The lithium facility (flow, purity, diagnostics) • The high flux modules (temperature regulation, resistance to irradiation) • Strong priority has been put on Validation Activities, through • The Accelerator Prototype • The EVEDA Lithium Test Loop • Two complementary (temperature range) designs of High Flux Test Modules and a Creep fatigue Test Module

Assembly of the EVEDA Lithium Test Loop Facility Building [40mW, 80mL, 33mH] JAEA Oarai • Commissioning undergoing • Successful operation at nominal temperature, nominal flow rate • Next step before experiment: check the velocity in the Target Assembly • Start of the experiments: June 2011 ELiTe Loop construction completed in November 2010

  7. JT-60SA Objectives • A combined project of the ITER Satellite Tokamak Program of JA-EU (Broader Approach) and National Centralized Tokamak Program in Japan. • Contribute to the early realization of fusion energy by its exploitation to support the exploitation of ITER and research towards DEMO. ITER DEMO Complement ITER towards DEMO Support ITER JT-60SA

Power Supplies Compressor Building TF coils&Testing Water Cooling System NBI Cryogenic System ECRF Cryostat Diagnostics Vacuum Vessel In-vessel Components Assembly Remote Handling

  10. High Beta and Long Pulse • JT-60SA is a fully superconducting tokamak capable of confining break-even equivalent class high-temperature deuterium plasmas (Ipmax=5.5 MA) lasting for a duration (typically 100s) longer than the timescales characterizing the key plasma processes, such as current diffusion and particle recycling. • JT-60SA should pursue full non-inductive steady-state operations with high N (> no-wall ideal MHD stability limits). 10

  11. Plasma Shaping • JT-60SA will explore the plasma configuration optimization for ITER and DEMO with a wide range of the plasma shape including the shape of ITER, with the capability to produce both single and double null configurations. 11 Ip=5.5MA, Lower Single Null Ip=5.5MA, Double Null Ip=4.6 MA ITER like
