Description
JT-60U has conducted extensive experiments for 17 years to achieve equivalent break-even conditions and to establish the scientific and technological basis of ITER and future DEMO reactors such as SSTR. Two types of advanced scenarios, high βp H-mode (with weak positive shear) and RS mode (negative shear), are developed in JT-60U. High performance discharges are maintained by full non-inductive current drive, primary with neutral beam current drive. The results are quite promising in demonstrating principle of steady-state tokamak operation. The research clarified many important issues for future studies
