Of all electrons, runaway electrons have long been recognized in the fusion community as a
distinctive population. They now attract special attention as a part of ITER mission …

An overview of the present status of research toward the final design of the ITER disruption
mitigation system (DMS) is given. The ITER DMS is based on massive injection of impurities …

Disruption mitigation is mandatory for ITER in order to reduce forces, to mitigate heat loads
during the thermal quench and to avoid runaway electrons (REs). A fast disruption mitigation …

Recent results from an ITPA joint experiment to study the onset, growth, and decay of
relativistic electrons (REs) indicate that loss mechanisms other than collisional damping may …

A multi-device database of disruption characteristics has been developed under the
auspices of the International Tokamak Physics Activity magneto-hydrodynamics topical …

Kinetic instabilities in the MHz range driven by runaway electrons (REs) have been
observed for the first time during the current quench (CQ) in disruptions triggered by massive …

A new three-dimensional electromagnetic modeling tool (ThinCurr) has been developed
using the existing PSI-Tet finite-element code in support of conducting structure design work …

New rapid shutdown strategies have been recently tested in the DIII-D tokamak to mitigate
runaway electrons (REs). Disruptions in ITER are predicted to generate multi-MeV REs that …

An integrated model for the ionization, radiation, and advection of impurities in the extended-
magnetohydrodynamic code M3D-C1 is described. This implementation makes use of the …

Disruption-generated runaway electron (RE) beams represent a severe threat for tokamak
plasma-facing components in high current devices like ITER, thus motivating the search of …
