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 was extensively modified in the 1992/93 shutdown. The new pumped divertor and many new systems were brought into operation early in 1994. Operations have progressed to 4 MA plasma current and, with substantial additional heating, H-mode confinement results confirm the expected scaling. The high power handling capability of the pumped divertor with sweeping is estimated at 20 MW for 20 s. H-mode plasmas have large Type I ELMs. With lower hybrid heating alone, 2 MA full current drive has been achieved with good efficiency, and with ICRF power, effective heating and direct electron heating have been demonstrated.

A flexible mathematical model has been developed in Part 1 to simulate the transient thermal response of a number of nuclear fusion components, including cryogenic devices that operate inside the JET Tokamak. The present work reports on the simulation of an accident scenario, as well as further studies of hypothetical off-normal scenarios concerning an out-of-vessel cryopump (the LHCD cryopump). These studies resulted in a complete safety protection system for the cryopump, which has been implemented into the JET operating routines.
