The European strategy envisages at least one major plasma device between the present generation machines such as JET and the Fusion Demonstration Reactor (DEMO). The European Community has decided to start the definition of this device, designated NET (Next European Torus), to be the focal point and to provide guidance for the current fusion effort, particularly the technology programme. NET aims to produce a plasma with reactor-like parameters (i.e. full ignition, extended burn pulse and adequate power density) and with machine parameters and configuration which could be safely extrapolated to DEMO. As far as possible, NET will adopt reactor relevant technologies and be capable of performing engineering testing for the development of the DEMO blanket/first wall.
