In fusion reactors, surfaces of plasma facing components (PFCs) are exposed to high heat
and particle flux. Tungsten and Copper alloys are primary candidates for plasma facing …

The object of this review is to summarize the achievements of research on the Alcator C-Mod
tokamak [Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994) and Marmar, Fusion Sci. Technol …

The interaction processes between the burning plasma and the first wall in a fusion reactor
are diverse: the first wall will be exposed to extreme thermal loads of up to several tens of …

Budget restrictions have forced the ITER Organization to reconsider the baseline divertor
strategy, in which operations would begin with carbon (C) in the high heat flux regions …

Edge-localized-modes (ELMs) are a ubiquitous feature of H-mode in tokamaks. When
gradients in the H-mode transport barrier grow to exceed the MHD stability limit the ELM …

Progress in the definition of the requirements for edge localized mode (ELM) control and the
application of ELM control methods both for high fusion performance DT operation and non …

First experiments with nonaxisymmetric magnetic perturbations, toroidal mode number n= 2,
produced by newly installed in-vessel saddle coils in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak show …

Progress, since the ITER Physics Basis publication (ITER Physics Basis Editors et al 1999
Nucl. Fusion 39 2137–2664), in understanding the processes that will determine the …

Large 70Hz Type-I edge localized modes (ELMs) are converted into small 130Hz
oscillations using edge resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) from a coil with currents⩽ …

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 …
