JET Decommissioning and Repurposing programme update
The JET Decommissioning and Repurposing (JDR) programme is two years old, and as the team prepares to move into a new phase of delivery we have been reflecting on the achievements to date, which include:
The removal of 66 tiles and components from JET using MASCOT and the remote handling system
The analysis of these tiles and components to provide a greater understanding of the waste challenge that will be faced by the team over the next few years
Supporting a multi-national European project to test a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy system which could be deployed in future fusion machines
Removed 11 scientific diagnostic tools for use on other fusion machines across Europe
Cleared one of JET’s buildings full of electrical subsystems so it can be repurposed for LIBRTI’s tritium breeding research programme
