Slide__zuvDIKObEd-WfYQ0GneCwQ_subTitle=In a series of experiments using the fuel mixture Deuterium-Tritium, a number of spectaculat "shots" have been done in 1997 at JET. The discharge shown burned for two seconds and yielded, in its 'most intense' second, 16 Megawatts fusion power. <p></p> <p>62 per cent of the energy used for plasma heating was re-gained by the fusion reaction ("Q-factor" 0.62) - practically the physical proof of the functioning of the concept.</p> <p>The product of temperature, density and confinement time is an important criterium of fusion physics. In order to reach reactor conditions, it has yet to be improved by a factor of about 6. When compared with the progress of the past decades, this seems to be a rather small (though expensive) step.</p>
