The AGHS at JET and Preparations for a Future DT Campaign

Please note – this is a very rough draft. Needs some work but operations at JET interrupted the writing process – will be developed/improved (more detail section III) but comments welcome and appreciated.

The Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) at JET is a unique facility enabling JET to perform reactor like, DT operations. As a future DT experimental campaign (DTE2) is scheduled for 2017 this paper provides a brief overview of the AGHS and a summary of ongoing work supporting the currently JET experimental campaign. An overview of the scale of DTE2 is included as well as an example of some of the upgrades currently being undertaken to fully exploit the learning opportunities for ITER and DEMO DTE2 provides.
