JT-60 Results Featured

September 26, 2002

The American Nuclear Society journal Fusion Science and Technology (September/November 2002 issue) is devoted to a set of papers summarizing the history and results from one of the world's major tokamak fusion experiments: JT-60. Writing in the Preface, Akio Kitsunezaki (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, Naka) writes "For Japan, JT-60 has been a historically remarkable project because this is the first large-scale project in which we attacked a large milestone without precedent in the world and succeeded to stand on the front line of the world fusion research." He says, "We are in the midst of a change in the history of fusion research and development from an age led by the world's three large tokamaks (JT-60, JET and TFTR) to the fusion experimental reactor, ITER."
