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 thermal and electromagnetic loads related to disruptions in ITER are substantial and
require careful design of tokamak components to ensure they reach the projected lifetime …

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 …

Shattered pellet injection (SPI) has been selected as the baseline technology for the
disruption mitigation (DM) system for ITER. Typical SPI utilizes cryogenic cooling to …

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 …

Shattered pellet injection (SPI) is one of the prime candidates for the ITER disruption
mitigation system because of its deeper penetration and larger particle flux than massive …

The operation of a 3D coil—passively driven by the current quench (CQ) loop voltage—for
the deconfinement of runaway electrons (REs) is modeled for disruption scenarios in the …

The technology to form and shoot high-Z cryogenic solid pellets mixed with deuterium using
a gas gun that are shattered upon injection into a plasma has been developed at Oak Ridge …

The radiation response and the MHD destabilization during the thermal quench after a
mixed species shattered pellet injection with impurity species neon and argon are …

Injection of large shattered pellets composed of variable quantities of the main ion species
(deuterium) and high-Z impurities (neon) in the DIII-D tokamak demonstrates control of …
