摘　　要：Recent experimental progress in JT-60U advanced tokamak research is presented： sustainment of the normalized beta （βN）- 3 in a normal magnetic shear plasma, the bootstrap current fraction （fBs） - 45% in a weak shear plasma and - 75% in a reversed magnetic shear plasma in a nearly fully non-inductive current drive condition for longer than the current relaxation time. Achievement of high-density, high-radiation fraction together with high-confinement in advanced plasmas is demonstrated. Achievements and findings in long pulse operations after system modification are presented as well. A 65 s discharge of Ip = 0.7 MA was successfully obtained. As a result, high-βN of 2.3 was successfully sustained for a very long period of 22.3 s. In addition, a 30 s standard ELMy H-mode plasma of Ip up to 1.4 MA was also obtained. Effectiveness of divertor pumping to control particle recycling and the electron density under the saturated wall retention was demonstrated. These achievements and issues in development are discussed.Recent experimental progress in JT-60U advanced tokamak research is presented： sustainment of the normalized beta （βN）- 3 in a normal magnetic shear plasma, the bootstrap current fraction （fBs） - 45% in a weak shear plasma and - 75% in a reversed magnetic shear plasma in a nearly fully non-inductive current drive condition for longer than the current relaxation time.
