Cd. Challis et al., REVIEW OF NEUTRAL BEAM HEATING ON JET FOR PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS AND THEPRODUCTION OF HIGH FUSION PERFORMANCE PLASMAS, Fusion engineering and design, 26(1-4), 1995, pp. 17-28
The JET neutral beam injection system has proved to be both effective
and reliable as a plasma heating device. The ion heating and plasma fu
elling characteristics of the system are ideally suited to the product
ion of high fusion performance plasmas while the flexibility in the ch
oice of beam species (H, D, T, He-3 or He-4) and the ability to inject
into almost any JET plasma configuration allows a wide variety of rel
ated physics experiments to be carried out. The capability to inject (
for the first time) tritium beams was essential to the successful exec
ution of the first tritium experiments in which 1.7 MW of power from D
-T fusion reactions was generated.
