The team is already working to refine their model to be compatible with other fusion devices, including planned future reactors such as ITER, which is currently under construction.

Managers of ITER, the giant experimental fusion reactor decades in the making, are expected to announce this year a new completion date, postponing “first plasma” well beyond the longstanding target of 2025.

JT-60SA will test technologies to be used in ITER, the international fusion reactor being built in France to demonstrate that fusion can generate more energy than goes into producing it.

ITER’s plasma volume will be almost six times JT-60SA’s.

JT-60SA will also help ITER, the mammoth international fusion reactor under construction in France that’s intended to demonstrate how fusion can generate more energy than goes into producing it.
