Abstract

Summary form only given, as follows. A full superconducting tokamak called JT-60SC is designed for the modification, program of JT-60 to enhance advanced tokamak operation scenarios with high /spl beta//sub N/ and full current drive in steady state. The objectives of the JT-60SC program are to establish scientific and technological bases for the steady-state operation of high performance plasmas and utilization of reduced-activation material in economically and environmentally attractive DEMO reactor. Advanced fusion technologies relevant to DEMO reactor have been developed in the superconducting magnet technology and plasma facing components for the design of JT-60SC. The modification program. has been discussed.
