Runaway electron generation in ITER mitigated disruptions with improved physics models
L. Votta, F. J. Artola, E. Nardon +2
We assess runaway-electron (RE) generation in ITER disruptions mitigated by shattered pellet injection (SPI) using improved physics modelling in the 1D disruption simulation framew…

Simulation of Shattered Pellet Injections with Plasmoid Drifts in ASDEX Upgrade and ITER
O. Vallhagen, L. Antonsson, P. Halldestam +7
Pellet injection is an important means to fuel and control discharges and mitigate disruptions in reactor-scale fusion devices. To accurately assess the efficiency of these applica…

Expulsion of runaway electrons using ECRH in the TCV tokamak
J. Decker, M. Hoppe, U. Sheikh +19
Runaway electrons (REs) are a concern for tokamak fusion reactors from discharge startup to termination. A sudden localized loss of a multi-megaampere RE beam can inflict severe da…
