About JET

These pages will provide you with basic information about JET, the Joint European Torus.

JET is situated in Oxfordshire, UK, at the Culham Science Centre. It is collectively used by EURATOM Associations from more than 20 European countries.

The JET device is currently the world's largest Tokamak. The JET facilities include plasma heating systems capable of delivering up to 30 MW of power, an Active Gas Handling System and a Beryllium Handling Facility providing JET with a unique Tritium and Beryllium capability, respectively.

Over the next few years JET's technical capabilities will be significantly enhanced in order to optimally support ITER's final detail design and in preparation for exploiting ITER.
