The DTT project was proposed in 2015 by about one hundred scientists from several Italian institutions (ENEA and its Third Parties), with the support of two EU labs (KIT, Germany; IPPLM, Poland), and the collaboration of scientists from various international labs (including CEA-IRFM, France; CRPP-EFPL, Switzerland; FOM-DIFFER, the Netherlands; IPPLM, Poland). The results were collected in “DTT-Divertor Tokamak Test facility. Project Proposal”, ISBN 978-88-8286-318-0, published in 2015 (DTT “Blue Book”).

In April 2019 a revised version of the project was published in “DTT-Divertor Tokamak Test facility. Interim Design Report”, ISBN: 978-88-8286-378-4 (DTT “Green Book”).

In September 2019 the DTT Consortium was established with the aim of implementing the DTT Project.
