Study on the benefits of broader approach activities under the current agreement and the expected benefits of continued participation
Publication metadata
This study analyses the Broader Approach agreement, an international fusion energy collaboration between the EU and Japan which began in 2007, and which in 2020 entered a 2nd phase. The Broader Approach encompasses three projects: (1) the JT-60SA, a superconducting tokamak in Japan which is planned to achieve first plasma in 2021; (2) IFMIF-EVEDA which has developed and will validate an experimental fusion neutron source (LIPAc); and, (3) IFERC, a project encompassing various design and engineering activities, including supercomputing and remote experimentation and control technologies. This work analyses the scientific and technical achievements of the Broader Approach to date, evaluates the impacts for participants and funders and assesses the governance and project management of the Broader Approach. It also assesses cooperation of the Broader Approach with ITER and the potential cooperation with other nations, and addresses future objectives , external communication and funding arrangements. Looking forward, the study also assesses the medium-long term considerations for the Broader Approach and its projects. A set of detailed, prioritised recommendations for the future of the Broader Approach is also provided.
