EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
Subject: Proposal for a Council Decision to amend the Statutes of the Joint 
European Torus (JET), Joint Undertaking. 
JET is a Joint Undertaking within the meaning of Chapter V of the Euratom Treaty, 
established by Decision 78/471/Euratom1 of the Council of the European Communities. 
The Statutes of the Joint Undertaking were adopted by the same Decision. The Joint 
Undertaking is currently established (Council Decision 91/677/Euratom2) until 31 
December 1996. 
Amendments to the Statutes 
As recognized by Council Decision 94/799/Euratom3, substantial new scientific 
and technical arguments have been identified, in particular for the benefit of 
ITER4, which speak for the continuation of JET's operation beyond 1996. 
JET is an essential element of the Euratom fusion prorramme strategy for 
progressing -wards its long term objective o( the joint instruction of safe and 
environmentally sound prototype reactors. JET is among the most important 
fusion experimental facilities in the world. Since its commissioning in June 1983, 
and following successive technical upgradings, JET has reached a level of 
performance placing the European Union at the forefront worldwide in the field 
of magnetic fusion. The objectives assigned initially to the project have been met 
and the final phase in Deuterium-Tritium could now be envisaged for 1996, 
which is the last year of the life of JET according to the present Statutes of the 
Joint Undertaking. 
However, a scientific and technical analysis of the medium term needs of the 
Euratom Fusion Programme, undertaken in 1993/1994 in the framework of the 
Consultative Committee for the Fusion Programme (CCFP, established by 
Council Decision of 16 December 1980), has stressed the value of extending JET 
beyond 1996 to provide further data of direct relevance to ITER, especially for 
the ITER-EDA (such as testing a divertor similar to that being designed for 
ITER), before entering into a final phase of Deuterium-Tritium operation. This 
extension would make it possible to achieve fully the aims of the Project and 
make a major contribution to serving the objectives of the Euratom Fusion

Programme. It would make the best use of the expertise and equipment made 
available at JET by the European Union. 
At its meeting of 22-23 March 1995, the JET Council decided to propose a 
3-year extension of the JET programme and to attach to this Proposal the 
Statement given in the Appendix, which provides the strategic, programme-
related and financial arguments supporting the proposed extension. 
At its meeting of 21-22 March 1995, the CCFP supported the proposed extension 
of JET for the benefit of ITER. 
The corresponding amendment to the Statutes refers to Article 19.1. 
2. Following the accession of the Republic of Finland to the European Union as 
from 1 January 1995, the Technology Development Centre of Finland (TEKES) 
has requested accession to the JET Joint Undertaking. In accordance with Article 
18 of the JET Statutes, the request for accession was addressed to the Director 
of the JET Project who transmitted it to the JET Council. At its 22-23 March 
1995 meeting, the Director of the Project submitted to the JET Council the 
amendments to the JET Statutes required for the implementation of the accession 
of this new member to JET. The amendments were approved unanimously. 
The amendments refer to the following articles of the JET Statutes: 
(a) the name of the Finnish Member, the Technology Development Centre of 
Finland, is to be inserted in Article 1.3, which designates the Members of the 
Joint Undertaking. 
(b) Article 4.1.1 stipulates the composition of and the voting rights in the JET 
Council. Like all States represented in the Joint Undertaking, Finland will have 
two representatives. These two representatives will together have two votes; this 
will bring the total number of votes in the JET Council from 43 to 45. The total 
number of votes required for the adoption of acts, as stipulated in Article 4.1.2, 
will be increased from 29 to 30. 
3. On that occasion, the JET Council also took into account certain changes 
concerning the accession of Sweden to the European Union. Before accession, 
Sweden was a third country fully associated with the Euratom Fusion Programme 
and the Swedish Natural Science Research Council ("NFR") was already a 
member of the JET Joint Undertaking. The amendments refer to Articles 16.1.4.1 
and 16.2.3. 
4. Certain modifications to the wording of the JET Statutes are proposed, to bring 
them into line with the Treaty on European Union. These amendments refer to 
Articles 10.6, 12, 18.2, 20.4, 20.6, 21.1, 24.2, 24.3 and 26 a. 
5. Pursuant to Article 24.2 of the JET Statutes (in accordance with Article 50 of the 
Euratom Treaty), it is up to the Commission to submit these amendments to the 
Statutes of the JET Joint Undertaking to the Council of the European Union for 
approval. 
Scale and timetable for financing 
6. In the case of an extension of JET to the end of 1999, the total contribution of 
the Members to the expenditure of the JET Joint Undertaking is estimated at 
about 311 Mio ECU for the period 1995-1998, which corresponds to the period 
covered by the Euratom Fusion Programme. 
The financial envelope for the proposed extension provides for funding by the 
Members of the JET Joint Undertaking at an average annual level of about 78 
Mio ECU for the period 1995-1998. 
Participation by Euratom in the financing of the Joint Undertaking 
7. In application of Article 9 of the JET Statutes, 80% of the expenditure of the 
Joint Undertaking shall be borne by Euratom, As part of the Euratom 
contribution would be offset by the contribution of Switzerland to the Community 
in respect of its participation in the Joint Undertaking, the amount fallim iwfer 
the Euratom Fusion Programme would be about 240 Mio ECU within the period 
1995-1998 covered by Hiis Programme. 
The financial envelope mentioned under paragraph 6 above is much less [hv ihat 
for the period 1990-1994 (corresponding to an average annual level oi tuiuiing 
by the Members of about 93.5 Mio ECU). The terms of the Decision on the 
Euratom Fusion Programme 1994-1998 that "an extension of JET would 
necessarily imply a substantially reduced annual budget of the project9' are 
therefore fulfilled. Within this period, the extension of the JET Joint 
Undertaking would not have new financial implications, as the Euratom 
contribution would remain within the range given in Annex n of Council 
Decision 94/799/Euratom (Area 2, JET: 23 to 32 %, i.e. 183 to 254 Mio ECU). 
For the period beyond 1998, the total contribution by Members is estimated to 
about 126 Mio ECU. The corresponding Euratom contribution (about 97 Mio 
ECU), subject to the availability of funding, would come from the next 
Framework Programme. 
Note 
On 28 March 1995, the Scientific and Technical Committee (STC) discussed the 
proposal to extend the JET programme up to 31 December 1999, on the basis of 
the JET Council Statement. In its opinion transmitted to the Commission on 
5 April 1995, that Committee believes that, all things considered, the extension 
requested by the JET Council is very desirable for European and world fusion 
research and strongly recommended that the Commission and the Council of the 
European Union approve it. 
The Commission has informed CREST and the Bureau of the European Assembly 
for Science and Technology of the JET Council decision to propose an extension 
of the JET programme. 
Proposed Decision 
Pursuant to Article 24.2 of the JET Statutes (in accordance with Article 50 of the 
Euratom Treaty), amendments to the Statutes require the approval of the Council of the 
European Union. 
Consequently, the Commission proposes that the Council : 
adopts the attached Decision approving the amendments to the Statutes of the 
Joint European Torus (JET), Joint Undertaking. 
Appendix 
EXTENSION OF THE JET PROGRAMME TO THE END OF 1999 
I. INTRODUCTION 
1. Since its establishment in 1978, JET has been an essential element of the Community 
Fusion Programme strategy for progressing towards its long term objective of the joint 
construction of safe and environmentally sound prototype reactors. 
2. Progress achieved in JET has been instrumental for defining the parameters of the Next 
Step, the first experimental reactor, presently in the phase of detailed engineering design 
under the quadripartite agreement ITER-EDA. 
3. According to its present Statutes, the JET Joint Undertaking should come to an end in 
1996. However, as recognised by Council decision 94/799/Euratom on the Euratom Fusion 
Programme for the period 1994-1998: 
"substantial new scientific and technical arguments have been identified, in particular 
for the benefit of ITER (such as testing a divertor similar to that being designed for 
ITER), which speak for the continuation ofJET's operation beyond 19%. " 
4. The proposal is to extend the JET Joint Undertaking by three years to the end of 1999 
to make room for an ITER-EDA Support Phase. This extension would make a major 
contribution to serving the objectives of the Community Fusion Programme. It would also 
make the best use of the expertise and equipment made available at JET by the European 
Union. 
II. THE PRESENT JET PROGRAMME TO END 1996: 
OBJECTIVES AND ACHIEVEMENTS 
OBJECTIVES 
5. By Council decision 78/471 /Euratom establishing the JET Joint Undertaking, the original 
aim of the Project was: 
"to construct, operate and exploit, as part of the Community Fusion Programme and for 
the benefit of the participants therein, a large torus facility of Tokamak type and its 
auxiliary facilities...in order to extend the parameter range applicable to controlled 
thermonuclear fusion experiments up to conditions close to those needed in a 
thermonuclear reactor". 
6. This objective was detailed in Report EUR-JET-R5, referred to in the Statutes of JET 
which were adopted by the same Council decision: 
"The essential objective of JET is to obtain and study a plasma in conditions and 
dimensions approaching those needed in a thermonuclear reactor. These studies will be 
aimed at defining the parameters, the size and the working conditions of a Tokamak 
reactor. Tim realisation of this objective involves four main areas of work: 
(i) the scaling of plasma behaviour as parameters approach the reactor range; 
(ii) the plasma-wall interaction in these conditions; 
(Hi) the study of plasma heating: and 
(iv) the study of a^particle production, confinement and consequent plasma heating. " 
7. Council decision 91/677/Euratom, extending the JET Joint Undertaking until the end of 
1996, introduced: 
(v) "a new phase into the JET program me, the objective of which would be to 
establish the effective control of impurities in operation conditions close to those 
of the Next Step" 
ACHIEVEMENTS 
8. All five of JET's objectives stated above can be fulfilled within the timeframe to the end 
of 1996. 
Work areas (i) and (Hi): scaling of plasma behaviour and plasma heating 
9. The temperatures (up to 330 million degrees), densities (up to 4xl020m3) and 
confinement times (up to 1.8 seconds) required in a reactor have been achieved, separately, 
in JET. Furthermore, the overall plasma performance, which can be measured by the product 
of the above three parameters, has come within a factor six of that required in a reactor. 
10. By virtue of JET's size, geometry, divertor configuration and proximity in working 
conditions to ITER, its results on the scaling of plasma behaviour, together with those from 
smaller tokamaks, have been crucial for predictions of the size and heating requirements of 
ITER. 
Work areas (ii) and (v): plasma-wall interaction and effective control of impurities 
11. This area was addressed fully with material limiters (for which JET was originally 
designed), then with a magnetic limiter (which allows access to regimes with better 
confinement) and now with the divertor (which is recognised as the configuration for a Next 
Step tokamak) installed during 1992/93. During 1994 the high power handling capability of 
this divertor has been demonstrated and the severe impurity influxes, which previously 
terminated high performance plasmas, have been eliminated. 
12. In the first half of 1995, a comparison between carbon fibre composite and beryllium 
divertor target tiles will be completed. This will provide necessary data for selecting the 
target tile material for the ITER divertor. 
13. During the second half of 1995, a more ITER-relevant divertor will then be installed 
in JET as part of an internationally coordinated approach to test several divertor concepts for 
ITER in existing tokamaks. 
Work area (iv): a-particle production, confinement and heating 
14. To date, very significant progress has been made in this area. In 1991 the performance 
of JET plasmas had improved sufficiently to warrant the first tokamak experiments using a 
deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel mixture. With a mixture of 10% tritium in deuterium (chosen 
to limit the activation of the JET device at that stage in the Programme), significant fusion 
power (peaking at 1.7MW and averaging 1MW over 2 seconds) was produced in a laboratory 
plasma for the first time. 
15. Since then, the US tokamak TFTR, using 50% tritium in deuterium, has produced some 
10MW of fusion power and has shown that, with their operating conditions, D-T plasmas 
have more favourable confinement properties than deuterium plasmas. 
16. In the second half of 1996, a further period of D-T operation in JET would allow these 
TFTR results to be assessed under ITER-relevant divertor and operating conditions. 
IH. EXTENSION OF JET TO THE END OF 1999: 
OBJECTIVES AND PROGRAMME PLAN 
OBJECTIVES 
17. The purpose of the extension of JET is to provide further data of direct relevance to 
ITER, especially for the ITER-EDA, before entering into a final phase of D-T operation. In 
particular, the extension would: 
(i) make essential contributions to the development and demonstration of a vial 
divertor concept for ITER, and 
(ii) carry out experiments using deuterium-tritium plasmas in an ITER-likc 
configuration, which will provide a firm basis for the D-T operation of ITER; 
while allowing key ITER-relevant technology activities, such as the demonstration of remote 
handling and tritium handling, to be carried out. 
PROGRAMME PLAN 
18. Extending JET by three years to the end of 1999 would allow a three year ITER-EDA 
Support Phase to be inserted into the JET Programme before the final D-T phase begins. 
ITER-EDA Support Phase (mid-1995 to mid-1998^ 
19. The ITER-EDA Support Phase will begin in mid-1995 with the installation of ai. 
improved divertor with sufficient flexibility to allow extensive exploration of divertor 
concepts for ITER. This divertor will have better power handling and pumping characteristics 
and these will be exploited in the subsequent experimental campaign. Furthermore, the 
divertor has been designed so that its target assembly can be exchanged by remote handling 
without manned intervention. 
20. During the second half of 1996, D-T operations in JET (typically with 50% tritium) 
would assess whether the more favourable confinement found during D-T operations in TFTR 
extends also to ITER-relevant configurations and operating conditions. These experiments 
would allow more accurate scalings for the performance and heating requirements of ITER 
to be determined. In addition, JET's capability for long pulse operation and impurity control 
should permit some 10 MW of fusion power for several seconds. The a-particle heating 
would then make a significant contribution to the plasma power balance. The activation of 
the device would be limited to a level that would allow manned intervention about one year 
after the end of D-T operations. This period of D-T operation would also provide a first test 
of a large scale technology for processing tritium in conjunction with an operating tokamak. 
i 
21. In 1997, the divertor target assembly would be exchanged to test a specific divertor 
concept for ITER. This divertor would be based on the most recent experimental results and 
model calculations. With the activation levels prevailing at this time, the target exchange 
would be carried out by remote handling and this would demonstrate, for the first time, one 
of the central technologies required both for ITER and for a fusion reactor. 
22. During the remainder of 1997 and the first half of 1998, this ITER-specific divertor 
would be tested experimentally with deuterium plasmas at high power. These results, together 
with those from smaller tokamaks, will allow the ITER divertor design to be validated. This 
should be possible by mid-1998, in line with the ITER-EDA schedule. 
23. The planning of this ITER-EDA Support Phase is sufficiently flexible to allow the 
precise duration and timing of the divertor and D-T programmes to be adapted to the 
developing needs of ITER and in light of contributions from other devices worldwide. 
Final phase of D-T operation (mid-1998 to end-1999) 
24. During late 1998 and early 1999, the experimental program me would prepare for D-T 
operation by optimising the plasma performance in deuterium. 
25. During the remainder of 1999, a period of D-T operation would capitalise on the 
performance improvements achieved in the preceding experimental campaigns with 
deuterium, whilst limiting the activation of the device to the levels strictly necessary. This 
period of D-T operation would also provide a full evaluation of the technology of processing 
tritium in conjunction with an operating tokamak. 
26. The above objectives and program me plan are in line with the requirements of the 
ITER-EDA and have been agreed with the ITER Director. 
The Reliability of the JET Device 
27. A European assessment group, set up by the JET Council, has analysed the reliability 
of JET in the context of the proposed extension to 1999. It concluded that with high 
probability only a small fraction of the life of the JET device has been used. 
IV. FINANCIAL ENVELOPE 
28. The financial envelope for the proposed extension, set on the basis of current economic 
conditions, provides for funding by the Members of the JET Joint Undertaking at an average 
annual level of 77.7 MioECU for the period 1995-1998. This compares with an average 
annual funding level of 93.5 MioECU for the period 1990-1994 and complies with the 
requirement of the 1994-1998 Euratom Fusion Programme that "An extension of JET would 
necessarily imply a substantially reduced annual budget of the project. " On the basis of this 
envelope the amount of funding to be met from the 1994-1998 Community Fusion 
Programme would amount to 240.17 MioECU. This represents 30.2% of the funds available 
under the Programme, less than the indicative ceiling of 32% given in Council Decision 
94/799/Euratom.
