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 …

The area of energetic particle (EP) physics in fusion research has been actively and
extensively researched in recent decades. The progress achieved in advancing and …

Nuclear fusion using magnetic confinement, in particular in the tokamak configuration, is a
promising path towards sustainable energy. A core challenge is to shape and maintain a …

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 …

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 …

Tokamaks are the most promising way for nuclear fusion reactors. Disruption in tokamaks is
a violent event that terminates a confined plasma and causes unacceptable damage to the …

A survey has been carried out into the causes of all 2309 disruptions over the last decade of
JET operations. The aim of this survey was to obtain a complete picture of all possible …

The physics base for the ITER Physics Design Guidelines is reviewed in view of application
to DEMO and areas are pointed out in which improvement is needed to arrive at a consistent …

Significant progress has been made in the area of advanced modes of operation that are
candidates for achieving steady state conditions in a fusion reactor. The corresponding …

This book offers a thorough coverage of the magnetic control of a plasma in a tokamak. A
plasma is a gas in which an important fraction of the particles is ionized, so that the electrons …
