The JET programme in 2019–2020 focussed on preparing for the exploitation of JET's
currently unique capabilities, tritium handling and ITER-like wall (ILW: Be first wall and W …

Tokamaks have demonstrated excellent plasma confinement capability because of their
symmetry but has an intrinsic drawback because of their pulsed inductive operation. Efforts …

A new modular code called BOUT++ is presented, which simulates 3D fluid equations in
curvilinear coordinates. Although aimed at simulating Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) in …

, Nucl. Fusion 39, 2137 (1999)] remains an important challenge. While uncertainties remain,
magnetohydrodynamic stability calculations at intermediate wavelength (the “peeling …

For the first time it is experimentally demonstrated on the JET tokamak that a combination of
a low impurity concentration bulk plasma and large magnetohydrodynamic instabilities is …

JOREK is a massively parallel fully implicit non-linear extended magneto-hydrodynamic
(MHD) code for realistic tokamak X-point plasmas. It has become a widely used versatile …

fusion performance, while large edge localized modes (ELMs), driven by the free energy in …

Avoidance of the harmful effects of runaway electrons (REs) in plasma-terminating
disruptions is pivotal in the design of safety systems for magnetic fusion devices. Here, we …
