Edge-localized modes (ELMs) are repetitive instabilities that occur in the outer region of tokamak plasmas. This Letter provides new information on and the implications of the evolution of the filament structures observed during ELMs in the MAST tokamak. The filaments exist for the time over which particles are being released into the scrape off la…

JET supports ITER both in development of technology and in torus operations. The latter include the study of ITER-like scenarios, operation in tritium (a trace tritium campaign has recently been completed), mitigation of ELMs and disruptions, investigation of tritium retention, real time control of plasma parameters, and control of extreme plasma s…

Operation of the JET Neutral Beam Injectors with tritium is described. Supplying the tritium feed via the special electrically grounded gas feed compromised the performance of the up-graded high current triode Positive Ion Neutral Injectors (PINI) due to gas starvation of the source and the methods adopted to ameliorate this effect are described. A…

‘Trace Tritium Experiments’ (TTE) were successfully performed on JET in 2003. The Campaign marked the first use of tritium in JET plasmas since the Deuterium- Tritium Experiment (DTE1) Campaign in 1997, and was the first use of tritium in experiments under the EFDA organisation with the UKAEA as JET Operator. The safety and regulatory preparati…

A cryosorption panel test arrangement was installed in the Cryogenic Forevacuum (CF) Subsystem of the Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) at JET. The pump panels were of ITER relevant design in terms of geometry and dimension, coating and sorbent material. The central objective of this investigation was to study, for the first time in such an in-dept…

The European Activation File is the source of nuclear data for fusion activation calculations that has been developed in Europe. In order to trust the calculations made with the data, validation is essential. A key part of this is the comparison of the EAF data with integral experiments made in fusion relevant neutron spectra on a wide range of mat…

H -mode operation has been achieved in high current I p . 200 kA plasmas in the START spherical tokamak for both neutral-beam-injection-heated and Ohmic discharges. The transition to H mode features the development of well-defined edge pedestals in density and temperature, which signifies the formation of an edge-transport barrier, and associated e…

A 20-chord Doppler spectrometer is used on the START spherical tokamak to record charge-exchange recombination (CXR) spectra. ‘‘Passive’’ radiation, mostly from near the plasma edge, is also present, and comes from electron-impact excitation of C5+ as well as C6+ CXR due to thermal neutrals. The relatively wide neutral beam, together with t…
