TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the 2014-2016 JET results in the light of their significance for optimising the ITER research plan for the active and non-active operation, stressing the importance of the magnetic configurations and the recent measurements of fine-scale structures in the edge radial electric.

TL;DR: Experiments performed on FTU (Frascati Tokamak Upgrade) show that the coupled radio frequency power can penetrate into high-density plasmas due to weaker plasma edge effects, thus extending the effective range of lower hybrid current drive towards the domain relevant for fusion reactors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of the plasma-facing components of the day-one tungsten divertor in ITER-like wall has been carried out, showing that the pattern of deposition within the divertor has changed significantly with respect to the JET carbon wall campaigns due to the absence of thermally activated chemical erosion of beryllium in contrast to carbon.

TL;DR: In this paper, a real-time algorithm for disruption prediction, based on MHD activity signals from Mirnov coils, was developed exploiting a large database of disruptions, and a new actively cooled lithium limiter was inserted in the scrape-off layer, without any damage to the limiter surface.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors integrated the plasma core performance with an edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) that leads to tolerable heat and particle loads on the wall.
