01 Definition

The primary nuclear and plasma physics research center of the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Development.

02 Detailed_Analysis

The ENEA Frascati Research Centre is Italy's leading scientific hub for magnetic confinement fusion and high-field physics. Historically the host of the Frascati Tokamak (FT) and Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU), the center coordinates Italian contributions to ITER and EUROfusion, and currently hosts the construction of the Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) facility to investigate advanced plasma exhaust solutions.
