The physics of the tokamak pedestal is still not fully understood, for example there is no fully
predictive model for the pedestal height and width. However, the pedestal is key in …

There is limited first principles knowledge of the physics that determines the pedestal and
the pedestal of a fusion power plant will not be in the same regime as current tokamak …

It is important to understand reactor relevant pedestals so that we can design tokamak
fusion power plants and confiden Page 1 This work was part funded by the RCUK Energy …
