Japan Atomic Energy Agency (hereinafter referred to as "JAEA") asked the assessment committee, "Evaluation Committee of Research and Development Activities for Fusion" (hereinafter referred to as "Committee") for in-advance evaluation of "Research and Development of the technical system for extraction of fusion energy," in accordance with "General Guideline for the Evaluation of Government R&D Activities" by Cabinet Office, Government of Japan, "Guideline for Evaluation of R&D in Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology" and "Regulation on Conduct for Evaluation of R&D Activities" by JAEA. In response to the JAEA's request, the Committee assessed the research program of the Fusion Research and Development Directorate (hereinafter referred to as "FRDD") during the period from April 2015 to March 2022. The Committee evaluated the management and research activities of the FRDD based on the explanatory documents prepared by the FRDD, the oral presentations with questions-and-answers by the Director General and the Deputy Director Generals.

This annual report provides an overview of major results and progress on research and development activities at Fusion Research and Development Directorate for FY2008 and FY2009. Concerning the ITER project, JAEA was nominated as the domestic agency by the Japanese government after the ITER Agreement took effect, and has fulfilled the obligations. In the development of superconducting conductors, JAEA immediately started and completed the construction of a plant to fabricate superconducting conductors, and started their fabrication ahead of other countries. For the Broader Approach (BA) activities, JAEA was designated as the implementing agency by the Japanese government after the BA Agreement took effect, and has fulfilled the obligations and promoted three projects in the BA activities steadily through domestic cooperation and coordination with Europe.

This annual report provides an overview of major results and progress on research and development activities at Fusion Research and Development Directorate of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) from April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008, including those performed in collaboration with other directorates of JAEA, research institutes, and universities. In October 2007, ITER Agreements entered into force and JAEA was designated as the Japanese Domestic Agency by Japanese Government. In June 2007, JAEA was assigned as the Implementing Agency for the Broader Approach Activities. The JT-60U operation regime was extended toward the long sustainment of high normalized beta () with good confinement (). In fusion reactor technologies, a steady state operation of the 170 GHz gyrotron up to 800 s with 1 MW was demonstrated for ITER. In addition, theoretical and analytical researches on fusion plasmas and design study on DEMO reactor were progressed substantially.
