WebsiteDTT - Divertor Tokamak Test facility

The Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) is a planned superconducting tokamak currently under construction in Frascati, Italy.[1] It is set to be operated by the Italian government-sponsored research and development agency, ENEA, and will serve as a testbed for the construction of a DEMOnstration Power Plant.[2] Its primary focus is to investigate the challenges posed by thermal heat loads endured by the divertor of a fusion power plant.[3]

DTT was initially proposed in 2015 as part of the EUROfusion program, and it is scheduled for operation in 2026.[4]
