At a temperature of 150 million degrees Celsius, deuterium and tritium fuse together to form helium and release a tremendous amount of heat energy without any greenhouse contributions.
Tokamak type
8 Feb 2024:
JET produced more energy than input:
69 Megajoules for 5 seconds
1978 JET construction starts
1983 First plasma in JET
1991 First experiments with tritium
1997 High performance full deuterium-tritium experiments. JET achieves world record fusion power of 16.1 MW.
2009 – 10 JET installs a new beryllium/tungsten plasma facing wall to test this configuration for ITER.
2019 – 20 Preparations well advanced for new deuterium-tritium experiments, designed to sustain high fusion performance for longer periods.
