Fabrication of an 8-meter coil inside the JT-60SA vessel with ±2 mm accuracy

[News Highlights]

  • Two Fast Plasma Positioning Control Coils (FPPCs) for maintaining stable plasma during the plasma heating experiments scheduled to begin in 2026, have been completed for JT-60SA—the world’s largest superconducting tokamak— jointly constructed by Japan and Europe in Naka City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
  • The FPPC is an 8-meter-diameter copper coil, installed inside the JT‑60SA vacuum vessel (inner diameter 10 meters). During fabrication, engineers successfully overcame the technical challenge of winding coil within the confined environment of vacuum vessel, achieving positional and shape accuracy within ±2 millimeters.
  • The technology developed with JT-60SA contributes to the fabrication of in-vessel coils for ITER, currently under construction in southern France. Going forward, the advanced technology for stable control of the world’s largest plasma using the FPPC at JT‑60SA will serve as an important foundation for advancing plasma control technologies amid intensifying international competition, and for establishing the autonomy and high reliability of DEMO reactors.

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (President: KOYASU Shigeo; hereinafter referred to as “QST”) and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (President & CEO: URUMA Kei; hereinafter referred to as “Mitsubishi Electric”) have successfully completed the fabrication of two Fast Plasma Positioning Control Coils (FPPCs)—a core technology for high-speed, high-precision plasma position control—for JT-60SA as part of the Broader Approach Activities, which is a joint project between Japan and Europe.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
