Last October, from 16th to 21st, the 29th Fusion Energy Conference (FEC 2023) was held in the UK. The conference, organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), was aimed at promoting the exchange of information in nuclear fusion research.

Over 1000 delegates converged in London to discuss the key physics and technology issues and the prospects for its use as a future commercial source of energy. During the conference, the recent results obtained at JET (Culham, UK) and NIF (Livermore, CA, USA) were discussed, the state of implementation of the machines under construction (including the DTT) was examined as well as the prospects of the role of private stakeholders.

The centrality of the topic of plasma exhaust and divertor technologies, widely reiterated, confirms the strategic role to which DTT is destined for the coming decades.

The DTT contributed to the scientific program with several contributions including a talk on the state of engineering and technological integration (A. Pizzuto) and poster presentations on the general progress of the project (F. Romanelli), the effects of electromagnetic transients in the in-vessel coils (R Ambrosino), the physics basis of DTT (F Crisanti), the EC additional heating (G. Granucci), the power exhaust mechanisms (P. Innocente), the electrical power supply (A Lampasi), the pumping performance (C Tantos).
