TL;DR: In this paper, a brief overview on the disruption loads and mitigation strategies for ITER and the physics basis which is continuously refined through the current disruption R&D programs is discussed.

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: This Letter presents a rigorous kinetic theory for relativistic runaway electrons in the near critical electric field in tokamaks that provides a distribution function of the runaway electrons, reveals the presence of two different threshold electric fields, and describes a mechanism for hysteresis in the runaway electron avalanche.

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 article, a detailed review of the physics basis for the DTE2 operational scenarios, including the fusion power predictions through first principle and integrated modelling, and the impact of isotopes in the operation and physics of DTE plasmas (thermal and particle transport, high confinement mode, Be and W erosion, fuel recovery, etc).
