Originally designed for five years of plasma operations, the JET Far Infrared (FIR) interferometer/polarimeter diagnostic system is still operating at its full capabilities nearly forty years later and in ITER relevant conditions, albeit with significantly lower neutron fluences and for several D-T campaigns. The original design changed substantial…

A Tritium fuel cycle must have the capability to import tritium inventory from transport storage containers to enable initial inventory stockpiling and future refresh of the inventory. The Joint European Torus (JET) Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) previously imported tritium inventory from Amersham Uranium beds (U-beds) via a decanting system hou…

The JET Real-Time Protection Sequencer (RTPS) co-ordinates responses for magnetic and kinetic actuators to protect the ITER-Like Wall from possible melting events and other undesirable scenarios. It allows programmable stop responses per pulse, based on alarms raised by other systems. The architecture combines a modular run-time application deve…

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a multi-disciplinary research facility which will be the world’s most powerful pulsed neutron source. A critical component of ESS will be a facility for handling radioactive waste and preparing it for safe disposal. Safe disposal of ESS waste requires the dexterous tele-manipulation of large, highly activat…

Prolonged operation of the Joint European Torus (JET) in a set-up involving all ITER partners will be beneficial for ITER. Experiments at JET with its ITER-like wall and using a D–T plasma mixture will help to mitigate risks in the ITER research plan. Training of the ITER operators, technicians and engineers at JET will safe valuable time when IT…

The need to protect operators and to control the spread of contamination during Joint European Torus (JET) machine maintenance leads to the generation of soft housekeeping materials contaminated with tritium. These materials consist mostly of various plastics. A portion of the material falls into the category of intermediate-level waste and might n…
