Close ✕Joint European Torus (JET)
JET, at Culham in Oxfordshire, was for four decades the largest operating tokamak and the only one besides TFTR licensed to run on a full deuterium-tritium mixture.

On the world
- A place in: Fusion Energy · 3 places
Lines mark links and orders the records assert; no path between any two places is recorded, and none is drawn.
Connections
- measured by Fusion energy gain (Q) and target gain — JET's 1997 result is reported as Q_plasma, fusion power divided by heating power delivered into the plasma, at a transient peak of about 0.62.
- informs ITER — JET's DTE3 campaign tested operating scenarios and tritium-handling procedures explicitly intended as input to ITER.
- confines by Tokamak (toroidal magnetic confinement) — JET was a tokamak and holds every deuterium-tritium fusion energy record set by magnetic confinement.
