Chapter 3: MHD stability, operational limits and disruptions

TL;DR: A review of recent advances in the area of MHD stability and disruptions, since the publication of the 1999 ITER Physics Basis document (1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137-2664), is reviewed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Principal Physics Developments Evaluated in the ITER Design Review

R. J. Hawryluk, +93 more
- 07 May 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the ITER design requirements were reviewed and as appropriate updated and the focus of this paper will be on recent work affecting ITER with special emphasis on topics affecting near-term procurement arrangements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control and dissipation of runaway electron beams created during rapid shutdown experiments in DIII-D

TL;DR: In this article, a broad distribution of the RE energy distribution with mean energy of order several MeV and peak energies of order 30?40?MeV was shown to be more skewed towards low energies than expected from avalanche theory, which may be linked to enhanced radial diffusion caused by the significant quantity of high-Z impurities (typically argon) in the plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI

An ITPA joint experiment to study runaway electron generation and suppression

TL;DR: In this paper, a joint experiment with the ITPA MHD group is conducted to measure the detection threshold conditions on a number of tokamaks under quasi-steady state conditions in which Vloop, ne, and REs can be well-diagnosed and compared to collisional theory.
