Ikeda, Yoshitaka; Fusion For Energy*

The content of the "Start of Assembly of JT-60SA and the Project Schedule" is presented in the symposium of "EU & JA Collaborative Activities and Joint Exploitation Strategy towards JT-60SA Experiment". The main content is as follows; The JT-60SA project is one of the three projects of the Broader Approach activities being undertaken jointly by Japan and Europe. There are two Implementing Agencies (IAs) such as the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) for Japan, and Fusion for Energy (F4E) for Europe. Both JAEA and F4E share the procurements and services to produce its first plasma in March 2019. Thanks to good progress on both IA's contributions, the assembly of JT-60SA started at Naka site in January 2013, with the arrival of the cryostat base from Europe after disassembly of JT-60. The assembly of the JT-60SA, which is featured by the integration process to combine the key components contributed by both IAs, is underway to produce its first plasma in March 2019.
