One year after the conclusion of the Joint European Torus (JET)\u2019s final scientific experiments, crucial findings are emerging that will play a key role in advancing future fusion machines.<\/h2>\n

The findings from JET\u2019s experiments have resulted in the submission of 96 research papers to various scientific journals, including 18 led by UKAEA scientists as first authors in 2024 alone.<\/p>\n

JET, located at the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority\u2019s (UKAEA) Culham Campus in Oxfordshire, was one of the world\u2019s largest and most powerful operational tokamaks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Until recently, it was the only tokamak able to use the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium in its fuel mix to produce fusion plasmas.<\/p>\n

This fuel combination is regarded as the powerplant-grade fuel of the future.<\/p>\n

Key focus of JET\u2019s experiments<\/h3>\n

JET\u2019s final deuterium-tritium experiments, also known as \u2018DTE3\u2019, focused on three key areas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Plasma science<\/li>\n
  2. Materials science<\/li>\n
  3. Neutronics<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Several impactful achievements from the DTE3 experiments<\/a> are advancing the understanding of plasma science and operational techniques for future tokamaks.<\/p>\n

    These include:<\/p>\n
