Providing energy from fusion and finding ways to scale up the fusion process to commercial
proportions in an efficient, economical, and environmentally benign way is one of the grand …

The paper presents an overview of the design status of the Radial Neutron Camera (RNC),
that, together with the Vertical Neutron Camera, will provide, through reconstruction …

Technological advances in embedded systems and the advent of fog computing led to
improved quality of service of applications of cyber-physical systems. In fact, the deployment …

The reduction of the incident heat flux onto the divertor will be a necessity for the future
thermonuclear reactors. Impurity seeding is recognized as an efficient way to achieve the …

In the past, the Joint European Torus (JET) has operated with a first-wall composed of
Carbon Fibre Composite (CFC) tiles. The thermal properties of the wall were monitored in …

One of the major problems in present tokamaks is the presence of disruptions. If disruptions
are not mitigated, they can produce serious damage to the device. Therefore, disruption …

The vertical stabilization system of the JET tokamak has been recently upgraded. This new
system enables a more sensitive control of the plasma geometry and can withstand larger …

Tokamaks are the most promising approach for nuclear fusion on earth. They are toroidal
machines where the plasma is heated in a ring-shaped vessel and kept away from the …

The electron density on COMPASS is measured using 2 mm microwave interferometer.
Interferometer signal is used as an input for the feedback control loop, running under the …

The COMPASS plasma control system is based on the MARTe real-time framework. Thanks
to MARTe modularity and flexibility new algorithms have been developed for plasma …
