JET DTE3 Detachment Control with Matthias Bernert & Bernhard Sieglin

Dive deep into the world of fusion research with Matthias Bernert and Bernhard Sieglin from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics as they discuss their roles and crucial experiments during the third and final deuterium-tritium experimental campaign (DTE3) and the Joint European Torus (JET). Matthias shares insights about the challenges of operating the divertor safely during the deuterium-tritium (D-T) campaign and how impurities are injected into the plasma to prevent overheating. Bernhard sheds light on the importance of control in the fusion process and the steps involved in developing a controller for plasma behaviour. The duo highlights the significance of these experiments, especially with JET’s impending closure, emphasizing their wider importance in the fusion community and potential implications for future fusion experimental and power plant facility designs.
