Disruption Studies in Diii-d

Year: 1997

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Characteristics of disruptions in the DIII-D tokamak including the current decay rate, halo current magnitude and toroidal asymmetry. and heat pulse to the divertor are described. Neon and argon pellet injection is shown to be an effective method of mitigating the halo currents and the heat pulse with a 50% reduction in both quantities achieved. The injection of these impurity pellets frequently gives rise to runaway electrons.
