Shaping the future of fusion science: Yevgen Kazakov nominated as new JT-60SA Experiment Leader for Europe
JT-60SA continues to strengthen its scientific programme as Europe and Japan prepare the next phase of experimental work on the world’s largest operating tokamak. Significant changes have recently taken place within the JT-60SA leadership team, including the appointment of former European Experiment Leader, Jeronimo Garcia, as the new Project Leader. In this context, Yevgen Kazakov […]
Defining Key Physics Gaps towards stellarator reactor
Wendelstein 7-X, the stellarator experiment in Greifswald, Germany, has built on knowledge gained from its predecessors to demonstrate the strong potential of the stellarator concept as a reactor path. This has sparked significantly greater interest across the fusion community in stellarator-based fusion reactors – leading to a wave of start-ups in Europe, the US, and […]
