Progress of Fusion Research and Development

In the fusion research at JAEA, since the start in 1961, the scale of devices was progressively increased from JFT-2, JFT-2a, JFT-2M to JT-60, incorporating the latest achievements in experiment and discoveries in theory.
JAEA also supports the ITER Project on an international cooperation basis, and proceeds to further research aiming at the realization of a fusion reactor which is environmentally safe and an inexhaustible energy resource.
