V. Zanza In the last year, JET tokamak performance has been progressively raised, culminating in operation at the full design level of 5MA plasma current in a toroidal field at 3.4T. Plasma control has been improved with the plasma current, position, shape and line-average electron density all now controlled by feed-back systems. By glow discharge cleaning in hydrogen/methane mixtures, the interior of the vessel has been coated with carbon (carbonisation). This reduces the fraction of power radiated to 50% and raises the density limit for disruption by 10%. Operation over a wide range of parameters, including varying major and minor radii, has given data for more extensive scaling studies. With ohmic heating, the maximum global energy confinement time is 0.8 ± 0.ls and the maximum central ion-temperature ~3.0keV. The highest (n tE T1) product is reached with ohmic heating in a deuterium plasma and is ~6 x 1019 m–3 s keV±20%.
