Abstract
After five years of construction JET started its operation in June 1983. In December plasmas with peak currents of 3 MA were produced. Flat top times of a few seconds were obtained for currents of 2.4 MA. The plasmas were slightly elongated ( ~ 20%) with a minor radius of about 1 m. Line densities (peak values) reached 7 × 1019 m−2, electron temperatures on the axis 1.5–2 keV and energy confinement times 0.3 s. The paper describes the state of the machine, the methods employed for impurity control and summarises the experimental results obtained during 1983.
