2. The Agreement between HUST of China and UT Austin of US
Cooperation Background
Major points of the agreement of UT Austin and HUST:
FRC of UT Austin contributes the completed set of TEXT device to HUST, and also provides the auxiliary equipments, engineering support.
FRC of HUST will contribute building of the Joint TEXT Lab, and cover all of expenditure for setting up the Joint TEXT Lab.
The Joint TEXT Lab will be also used to train graduate students from both sides. Both sides will start exchanging program of graduate students and scholars.
The patent copyright and experimental data at the Joint TEXT Lab will be shared by FRC of UT Austin and FRC of HUST.
1. Introduction
Cooperation Background
1. Introduction
The Texas Experimental Tokamak (TEXT) was built and operated by the University of Texas at Austin under the United States Department of Energy. TEXT is a general–purpose device designed to provide facilities for fusion experiments. The main program is devoted to the study of plasma transport and turbulence. In addition, a number of smaller programs are undertaken.

In 1990, the TEXT device was upgraded to TEXT-U. With the upgraded device, it will be possible to study the scalings of transport and fluctuations with increased power and for diverted discharges. The combination of a diverter and auxiliary heating should initiate the H-mode transition and extend these studies to H-mode plasma.
The whole TEXT device was moved to HUST at the end of 2003. And the joint TEXT Lab is under construction the joint TEXT Lab is under construction at the campus of HUST.at the campus of HUST.

2. The up-to-date Re-building
The total investment is up to ¥ 17.7 million:
¥ 5 million for moving the TEXT device from UT to HUST
¥ 4 million for the laboratory building construction
¥ 1.5 million for the installation of Motor-Generator set
¥ 4 million for the power supply capacity upgrade
¥ 3.2 million for the reinstallation of the main machine of J-TEXT
The investment in the re-building
2. The up-to-date Re-building
Authorized by Ministry of Education of China, a new speciality of pulse power and plasma was set up in HUST.
A group of young students, including postgraduate students, more than ten masters and doctors, are trained and join in the project of the rebuilding of J-TEXT Lab.
2. The up-to-date Re-building
A new experimental building with its area over 1000 m2 has been completed.
Some old experimental hall and rooms over 1000 m2 have
been decorated.
A building over 4000 m2 are also improved to serves as
research and administration area.
Rooms for discharge control and data acquisition &
management with antistatic floor have been built.

2. The up-to-date Re-building
The basic magnetic diagnostic system
• Plasma current—IP(t) measured by four Rogovski coils around the vacuum vessel.
• Loop voltage--V(t) measured by six loops around the vacuum vessel.
• MHD activity—studied by Mirnov magnetic probe arrays
• Total energy--Etot measured with diamagnetic loops

Plasma Plasma diagnostic system being developed
• The vertical and horizontal position calculated from sine and cosine loops.
• Hαintensity monitored with an interference filter and photodiode.
• the line-averaged plasma density on a vertical chord measured by infrared HCN interferometer .
• Electron temperature measured with the soft X-ray pulse height analysis (PHA) system.
• Radiated power-- a bolometer viewing a central chord of the plasma.
4.The J-TEXT could Do in China MCF Project
A world-wide open laboratory in the field of fusion plasma. Combining with the other education resources of Hust, it co
uld be the main experimental device for cultivating and training fusion engineers
Used to examine the innovate idea and develop advanced operation regime.
Devote to the R&D of novel fusion technology
Serves as the complementary and pre-experimental device for large-size tokamaks.
Special Expectation
In our schedule, the whole rebuilding work will be completed by the end of this year. And now we need the supports from all aspects, especially finance funding, to guarantee our rebuilding plan of J-TEXT.
