The ​ also maintained that it will proactively apply the knowledge gained from JT-60SA to the ITER and future DEMO reactors and will continue to work as a core for the early commercialization of fusion energy. It’s claimed that the JT-60SA addresses the main aspects of fusion research, from plasma physics to engineering, with special attention to their combination into tokamak operation. The JT-60SA machine, laboratories, experimental program, and its associated modeling activity can be an ideal playground for the training of Japanese and European students and young professionals to nurture the new generations of fusion physicists and engineers.
