CRONOS is a suite of numerical codes for the predictive/interpretative simulation of a full
tokamak discharge. It integrates, in a modular structure, a 1D transport solver with general …

Internal transport barriers in tokamak plasmas are explored in order to improve confinement
and stability beyond the reference scenario, used for the ITER extrapolation, and to achieve …

The understanding and predictive capability of transport physics and plasma confinement is
reviewed from the perspective of achieving reactor-scale burning plasmas in the ITER …

Significant progress has been made in the area of advanced modes of operation that are
candidates for achieving steady state conditions in a fusion reactor. The corresponding …

Tokamak discharges with improved energy confinement properties arising from internal
transport barriers (ITBs) have certain attractive features, such as a large bootstrap current …

The tokamak approach, utilizing a toroidal magnetic field configuration to confine a hot
plasma, is one of the most promising designs for developing reactors that can exploit …

Abstract The MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center and collaborators are proposing a high-

This paper reports results on the progress in steady-state high-β p ELMy H-mode discharges
in JT-60U. A fusion triple product, n D (0) τ ET i (0), of 3.1× 10 20 m− 3 s keV under full non …

Scenarios of steady-state, fully non-inductive current in Tore Supra are predicted using a
package of simulation codes (CRONOS). The plasma equilibrium and transport are …

This paper proposes a control-oriented approach to the tokamak plasma current profile
dynamics. It is established based on a consistent set of simplified relationships, in particular …
