Joint European Torus successfully tests new solutions for future …
Nov 23, 2023 · The Joint European Torus (JET) is a fusion experiment of the donut-shaped tokamak design located at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in Oxfordshire, UK. The facility uses magnetic fields to keep the hot, ionised gas (plasma) away from the vessel’s interior walls, enabling safe operation at 150 million degrees Celsius – ten times the ...
Fusion fuel mix could stabilise burning plasma - EUROfusion
Sep 19, 2024 · Fusion energy promises to deliver safe, sustainable, and low-carbon baseload power, complementing other clean energy sources like solar and wind.. To reach optimal performance, fusion researchers need to manage unwanted turbulence in the hot plasma inside their tokamak machines. One important question is what happens when the fusion process starts releasing fast, heavy helium ions (alpha ...
