NEA irradiation system ready to deploy at MITR
A new irradiation experimental system is ready for deployment. The rig, which is the focus of In-Core Real-Time Mechanical Testing of Structural Materials (INCREASE-I), an OECD Nuclear Energy Agency project, will be used to conduct stress-relaxation tests of stainless steel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor (MITR), according to the OECD NEA.

Recent JT-60U experiments were concentrated on extending new operational regimes such as the negative-shear mode and high triangularity regime in addition to high βp H-mode. The results are quite encouraging for steady-state operation which is necessary for ITER and future tokamak reactors such as SSTR. First neutral beam injection into a tokamak plasma using negative ion acceleration was successfully made. Design and fabrication of the W-shaped radiative pumped divertor is progressing on schedule and the design of the JT-60SU is making progress.
