UKAEA Culham The UK's home of fusion research has a new name: the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE).
The
launch of CCFE is part of wider organisational changes at its parent
body, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, whose decommissioning
sector has been sold to Babcock International. The Authority has taken
the opportunity ...to rebrand its fusion operation, giving it a clearer
identity that reflects its mission.

A lot of people make that assumption, but JET is nothing like a particle accelerator.

I was on duty in control room for that session. We just demonstrated that JET is the best machine for ITER applications.
It would take at least 5 yrs from the start-up of ITER in 2018(?!?) to reach JET actual performance.
