Chapter 3: MHD stability, operational limits and disruptions

TL;DR: A review of recent advances in the area of MHD stability and disruptions, since the publication of the 1999 ITER Physics Basis document (1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137-2664), is reviewed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-organized helical equilibria as a new paradigm for ohmically heated fusion plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of a reversed-field-pinch plasma towards a self-organized single-helicity state suggests that instability problems, which have previously hindered the development of these devices, could now be overcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Machine modification for active MHD control in RFX

TL;DR: In this article, a new first wall with an integrated system of electric and magnetic transducers has been realized, which completely surrounds the toroidal surface and allows the generation of harmonic fields with m=0 and m=1 poloidal wave number and with a toroidal spectrum up to n=24.

- 15 Jun 2017 - 
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.
