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.

TL;DR: In this article, the concept of a compact DEMO reactor named "SlimCS" is presented, which uses a reduced-size center solenoid (CS) which has the function of plasma shaping rather than poloidal flux supply.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of the up/down asymmetry of the eddy current distribution arising from the asymmetric geometry of the JT-60U vacuum vessel and the degradation of magnetic field decay index n, leading to high growth rates of positional instability.

TL;DR: In this article, the Toroidal Peaking Factor (TPF) was measured in JT-60U by Rogowski coil type halo current sensors and the maximum value of TPF × Ih/Ip0 was 0.52 in the operational range of Ip0 = 0.7-1.8 MA, BT = 2.2-3.6 and q95 = 3.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the most recent contributions of ASDEX upgrade to ITER in the field of disruption studies, and they use discriminant analysis to select the most significant variables and to derive the discriminant function.
