From June to October 1987, JT-60 achieved fusion product(ne(0) .r~*.Ti(Oj ) of 6 ~1 0 ' ~ m 3 . k e V . s with hydrogen plasma at plasma current of 2.8 to 3.1 MA with neutral beam power of -20 MW. The central electron density of 1 . 3 ~1 0 2 0 m-3 was obtained at plasma current of 3 MA with 13-20 MW neutral beam power and the confinement time reached 0.14-0.18 s. It is found that an offset linear scaling law like the Shimomura-Odajima scaling on confinement time will be able to reproduce experimental data better than that of the Goldston type scaling. With low beam energy injection, -40 keV, confinement degradation was found. Many short periods (0.05-0.1 s) of H-mode phase were found in outside X-point divertor discharges with NB or NB+RF(LH or IC) heating power above 16 MW. However, improvement in energy confinement time was limited to 10 %. The ballooning/interchange stability analysis were JT-60 TEAM also made for the outside X-point divertor equilibrium in connection with H-phase capability. Heating power of 9.5 MW and 1.9 MW was obtained by LHRF, ICRF injection, respectively. In combined LHRF and NB heating, the incremental energy confinement time of 0.064 s was obtained, which is the same level of that of NB heating only. In combined NB and on-axis ICRF heating of low ne discharge, an incremental energy confinement time of 0.21 s was obtained, which is three times as long as those of NB or ICRF heating only. It was also observed that high energy beam ions were accelerated by ICRF in the central region of the plasma.
