JET
 scroll 
Joint European Torus; large-scale experiment for controlled
nuclear fusion; Culham, England. In 1991, it was possible for the first
time in the history of fusion research to release considerable energy
by controlled nuclear fusion using the JET. For a period of two seconds,
the facility generated a fusion power of 1.8 megawatt. In 1997 the JET
generated a fusion energy of 14 megajoules at a record fusion power
of 13 megawatts with a fuel mixture consisting of equal parts of deuterium
and tritium. An important measure of this success is also the ratio
of fusion power output to heating input, which with 65 percent was more
than twice the value achieved until that time.
