We are harnessing the power of the sun to develop the ultimate energy source, fusion energy 🌞
During JET Decommissioning and Repurposing (JDR) we have discovered that, unfortunately, JET is haunted by the ghosts of past plasmas...
...It's called BOO-sion Energy! 👻

⏯️This slow-motion video shows the inside of the JET tokamak during a shattered pellet injection (SPI) experiment. SPI is a technique to minimise the impact of disruptions – events where the hot fusion plasma in a tokamak can very rapidly lose its heat and electromagnetic energy.
