JET back in operation.The Joint European Terns (JET) resumed operations in April 2008 after shutting down in April 2007 for upgrades and refurbishment. JET holds the world record for the production of fusion power Fusion power refers to power generated by nuclear fusion reactions. In this kind of reaction, two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus and release energy. in a magnetic confinement device. JET is considered to be a prototype for ITER ITER. A foot way. Vide Way. . A number of new capabilities were added to JET during the shutdown, including an ITER-like Ion Cyclotron cyclotron: see particle accelerator. cyclotron Particle accelerator that accelerates charged atomic or subatomic particles in a constant magnetic field. Resonance Heating (ICRH ICRH Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (Canada) ICRH International Centre for Reproductive Health (Belgium, Kenya) ICRH Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating ICRH Ion Cyclotron Resonant Heating ) system antenna. The new antenna will be capable of providing 8 MW per square meter to the plasma surface. |
