Abstract
An overview is presented of the progress since 2021 in the construction and scientific
programme preparation of the Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) facility. Licensing for building
construction has been granted at the end of 2021. Licensing for Cat. A radiologic source has
been also granted in 2022. The construction of the toroidal field magnet system is progressing.
The prototype of the 170 GHz gyrotron has been produced and it is now under test on the
FALCON facility. The design of the vacuum vessel, the poloidal field coils and the civil
infrastructures has been completed. The shape of the first DTT divertor has been agreed with
EUROfusion to test different plasma and exhaust scenarios: single null, double null, X-divertor
and negative triangularity plasmas. A detailed research plan is being elaborated with the
involvement of the EUROfusion laboratories.
