In the recent JET experimental campaigns with the new ITER-like wall (JET-ILW), major
progress has been achieved in the characterization and operation of the H-mode regime in …

The ITER divertor design is the culmination of years of physics and engineering effort,
building confidence that this critical component will satisfy the requirements and meet the …

As part of the ITER Design Review and in response to the issues identified by the Science
and Technology Advisory Committee, the ITER physics requirements were reviewed and as …

Sustainment of Q∼ 10 operation with a fusion power of∼ 500 MW for several hundred
seconds is a key mission goal of the ITER Project. Past calculations and simulations predict …

Operating experimental devices have provided key inputs to the design process for ITER
axisymmetric control. In particular, experiments have quantified controllability and …

This paper revisits a number of key aspects of plasma initiation, aiming to clarify concepts,
provide definitions and improve understanding, in view of ITER First Plasma operation. It …

ITER plasma control design solutions and performance requirements are strongly driven by
its nuclear mission, aggressive commissioning constraints, and limited number of …

Abstract The International Tokamak Physics Activity topical group on integrated operational
scenarios has compiled a database of stationary H-mode discharges at q 95~ 3 from AUG, C …

The transition of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) from a graphite device to a full tungsten device is
demonstrated with a reduction by an order of magnitude in both the carbon deposition and …

Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH)-assisted plasma breakdown is foreseen with
full and half magnetic field in ITER. As reported earlier, the corresponding O1-and X2 …
