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.

Australian regulators ease regulations on stablecoin intermediaries

Australian regulators ease regulations on stablecoin intermediaries

PANews reported on September 18th that, according to Decrypt, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has granted a regulatory exemption to stablecoin intermediaries, allowing them to distribute cryptocurrencies issued by licensed Australian institutions without having to hold a separate financial services license. The exemption, published Thursday, states that intermediaries distributing stablecoins issued by Australian Financial Services (AFS) licensed issuers no longer need to apply for separate AFS, market, or clearing facility licenses. This measure, effective upon registration of federal legislation, is a significant step forward in addressing Australia's regulatory challenges in the stablecoin market. Blockchain APAC CEO Steve Vallas stated that this move is a temporary transition before broader reforms and is consistent with financial services law. The exemption does not change the determination of whether stablecoins are financial products, but simply "suspends the secondary licensing requirement for distributors of licensed issuers," allowing distribution through licensed channels while maintaining issuer liability and requiring intermediaries to provide product disclosure statements to ensure transparency.
