    Studies on plasma confinement, steady-state tokamak operations and boundary plasmas are main subjects in tokamaks relating to fusion plasmas. Emphases of recent JT-60 experiments from 1987 to the shutdown in October, 1989 were put on these studies. Investigations of L-mode improved modes such as pellet injection, high Ti mode, giant sawtooth by 3rd harmonics of ICRF etc., and H-mode were carried out as confinement studies. Current drive by LHCD made a large progress by using a new launcher. Bootstrap current reached 80% of plasma current, which has brought a new idea of steady-state tokamaks. Results on particle confinement, particle and heat control studies with divertor are also presented

    Recent theoretical results of MHD instabilities in Heliotron/Torsatron are reviewed. By comparing the results with experimental data in Heliotron E, Heliotron DR and ATF, it is pointed out that resistive interchange modes are the most crucial instabilities, since the magnetic hill occupies a substantial region of plasma column.
    Development of three-dimensional MHD equilibrium codes has made a significant progress. By using the local stability criterions shown by DI (ideal MHD mode) and DR (resistive MHD mode) for the equilibria given by the three-dimensional codes such as BETA and VMEC, stability thresholds for the low n ideal modes or the low n resistive modes are estimated, where n is a toroidal mode number.

    Various improved confinement modes in tokamak are surveyed and their characteristics are reviewed. To search for the potentiality as a fusion core plasma in reactor, an examination to evaluate the core performance has been made. The fusion product near the ignition condition, where Q is large, is used for the evaluation. The dilution of the fuel ion and the profile effect are simultaneously examined together with the obtained τE.
    Because of the fuel dilution and of the bulk radiation, the good performance does not always correspond to the mode with long r E. If their time evolution is taken into account the problem becomes more serious. Further extensive research to control the fuel purity is surely needed to ensure the long pulse operation.

    Graphite materials have been widely used for the first wall components of fusion devices as a high heat flux and stable-material to plasmas. By using graphite first wall, the radiation loss from the plasma can be largely suppressed. However, the graphite material with high thermal shock resistance and with low erosion rate has to be developed since the heat load and the duration become extremely large in a next ignition device. In addition, the recycling due to the graphite wall has to be suppressed for the plasma confinement time to be lengthened. We here discuss the overall properties of graphites and then suggest several requirements for graphite first wall.

    A new method and its computer program for the double exponential formula for numerical integration is presented. The present method avoids underflow encountered in the computation of weights of the formula and sums the integral up to a sufficiently large number of terms, so that it does not deteriorate the accuracy of the double exponential formula even for integrands with strong end-point singularity.
