A frontier in current research at various institutions, for example the Joint European Torus ( JET ) and ITER, is the development of an economically viable method of using energy from a controlled fusion reaction.

Such work is beginning or planned in most of the large tokamaks ( JET, JT – 60U, DIII – D,

Abingdon is close to several major scientific employers: the UKAEA at Culham ( including the Joint European Torus ( JET ) fusion research project ), Harwell Laboratory, the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the new Diamond Light Source synchrotron, which is the largest UK-funded scientific facility to be built for over 40 years.

* 1978-The JET project is given the go-ahead by the EC, choosing an ex-RAF airfield south east of Oxford, UK as its site.

JET / EFDA, in Culham, is currently scheduled for closure with the project moving to Cadarache, France around 2016 / 17.

JET, the Joint European Torus, is a magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment located in Oxfordshire, UK.

Similar extrapolations have not been made for JET, but it is likely that increases in Q over the 1997 measurements could now be achieved if permission to run another full D-T campaign was granted.

There is an organization called The Association of Japan Exchange and Teaching ( AJET ), that provides support for the Programme participants and facilitates communication with the JET Programme sponsors.

The pay for a private ALT is usually less than a full-time Eikaiwa teacher and far less than a teacher from the JET Programme (¥ 3, 360, 000 / year as of 2012 as part of the JET programme ), with some of the lowest salaries around the ¥ 180, 000 per month level.

There is the impression that the private sector in general continues to grow as The JET Programme loses share in the market.

A frequent issue with JET Programme ALTs is being required to report to a town office or education center when school is not in session.

Kamagaya City is one of the closest locations to Tokyo to employ JET Scheme ALTs.

Although the population of Ibara is small it boasts 6 JET Programme ALTs.

There are a number of major scientific employers nearby including the UKAEA at Culham ( and the Joint European Torus ( JET ) fusion research project ), Harwell Laboratory, the Science and Technology Facilities Council ( the research council responsible for Rutherford Appleton Laboratory ) and the Diamond Light Source synchrotron, which is the largest UK-funded scientific facility to be built for over 30 years Didcot is also the base of operations for the Baptist Union of Great Britain and BMS World Mission.

Diamond is located on the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory site, near to the ISIS neutron source, the Central Laser Facility, and the nearby laboratories at Harwell and Culham ( including the Joint European Torus ( JET ) project ).

The Shimoichi-cho Board of Education is a participant in the Japanese Education and Training ( JET ) Programme.

The JET Programme is a Japanese government organization which places native English speakers in predominately rural areas, offering students and the community an opportunity to converse with a native English speaker as well as enjoy cultural exchanges.

JT-60 is a typical Tokamak with a D-shaped poloidal cross-section, similar to JET.

MEXT is one of three ministries that run the JET Programme.

Indian applicants have been welcomed in 2006 / 7 to the JET Programme, starting with just one slot available in 2006 and 41 in 2007.

In 1997, JET produced a peak of of fusion power ( 65 % of input power ), with fusion power of over sustained for over 0. 5 sec.

There also exist Java implementations that combine an AOT ( ahead-of-time ) compiler with either a JIT compiler ( Excelsior JET ) or interpreter ( GNU Compiler for Java.

The JET facilities are situated on a retired Navy airfield near Culham, Oxfordshire – RNAS Culham ( HMS Hornbill ), in the UK: the construction of the buildings which house the project was undertaken by Tarmac Construction, starting in 1978 with the Torus Hall being completed in January 1982.

Construction of the JET machine itself began immediately after the completion of the Torus Hall, with the first plasma experiments in 1983.

The components for the JET machine came from manufacturers all over Europe, with these components transported to the site.

In 1998 JET ’ s engineers developed a remote handling system with which, for the first time, it was possible to exchange certain components using artificial hands only.

In 1999 the European Fusion Development Agreement ( EFDA ) was established with responsibility for the future collective use of JET.

The sturdiness and flexibility of JET ’ s original design has made it possible for the device to evolve with the interests of the fusion community and meet the requirements of ITER.

JET was converted to Divertor configuration in 1993 and started operation with ITER-like magnetic configurations in 2006.

JET was originally set up by Euratom with a discriminatory employment system that allowed non-British staff to be employed at more than twice the salaries of their British equivalents.

JET operated throughout 2003, with the year culminating in experiments using small amounts of tritium.

Pending construction of ITER, JET remains the only large fusion reactor with facilities dedicated to handling the radioactivity released from D-T fusion.

Even with such a small student body, in 2009 the village began employing an ALT ( assistant language teacher ) of English from the JET Programme to live and work in village.

In December 1999, JET's international contract ended and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority ( UKAEA ) then took over managing the safety and operation of the JET facilities on behalf of its European partners.

The Authority became a contractor for the NDA for the decommissioning work at Dounreay, Harwell, Windscale, Winfrith and the JET facilities at Culham.

JT-60 does not have the facilities to handle tritium ; currently only the JET tokamak in the United Kingdom has such facilities.

In 1997, scientists at the Joint European Torus ( JET ) facilities in the UK produced 16 megawatts of fusion power in the laboratory and have studied the behavior of fusion products ( alpha particles ) in weakly burning plasmas.

Six years later, in 1997, another world record was achieved at JET: 16 mega watts of fusion power were produced from a total input power of 24 mega watts – a 65 % ratio.

In 1994 it produced a then world-record 10. 7 megawatts of fusion power from a plasma composed of equal parts of deuterium and tritium ( exceeded at JET in the UK, which generated 16MW for 22MW input in 1997, which is the current record ).
