The DTT device: Guidelines of the operating program

The DTT facility is designed to study, within the European Fusion Road Map, the completely integrated (physics-technology and bulk-edge) power exhaust problems. The scientific program is characterized by the tight balance between clear guidelines and the “flexibility” to tackle all the present scientific questions as well as the ideas possibly arising along the years of its operative life; in particular, it will be ready to answer to the necessities arising from both ITER operation and/or DEMO design. The paper discusses the guideline of DTT operations program to be carried out during its operative life, planned in about thirty years.
