This paperpresents an overview of results of the 1994/95 experimental campaign on JET with the new pumped divertor and draws implications for ITERin the areas of detached and radiative divertorplasmas, theuseofberyllium as a divertor target tile malerial, the confmement properties of discharges with the same dimensionless parameters (exceptforthedimensionless Larmorradius) as lT!3R and the effect of varying the toroidal magnetic field ripple in the FTER relevant range.Discbarges withhigh fusionpe~ormance athighcurrentjn steadystate with ELMS and in the ELM-free hot -ion H-mode, are also reported. Limits to operations are discussed and projections to D-T performance are made.
JET (Joint European Torus) Joint Undertaking is currently planning to install its new Gasbox Divertor remotely.In line with JET's policy and philosophy, it was decided to survey the divertor structure remotely to confirm its position, shape and integrity prior to installing the new tile configuration. A survey to metrology standards with sub-millimetre accuracy is required. While remote surveys have been carried out in the past, they have not been to this level of accuracy.Digital photogrammetry (the evolution of photogrammetry, using CCD cameras) in conjunction with "targetless" software was selected as being the most suitable technique. It was seen as the natural evolution of the survey techniques already developed for use at JET, as well as having the potential to assist in preparations for future remote handling operations. Photogrammetry requires a large number of retroreflective targets to ensure accurate results. Clearly it would not be practical to fit targets remotely to the divertor structure. However, a technique has been developed at JET which uses a combination of targeted and targetless photogrammetry. A number of frames fitted with targets will be remotely positioned on the divertor structure. When surveyed these targets allow accurate determination of camera positions. Specially developed software allows the selection of untargeted features of components in the digital pictures. Their co-ordinates can be determined by triangulation from the known camera positions. Trials have shown that accuracy of ϩ Ϫ 0·6 mm is achievable. This paper will describe the development of this concept, the design of the necessary equipment, the testing to prove the accuracy and feasibility and the trials carried out in JET's In-vessel Training Facility. These included remote handling of the six million pixel camera and other equipment, data handling and download via an ethernet link through the remote handling articulated boom, development of survey techniques, optimization 213
