This paper presents simulations of alpha-particle transport in ITER driven by static 3D magnetic field perturbations in the high-performance 15 MA Q = 10 baseline scenario, specifically resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) arising from edge-localized mode (ELM) control coils, combined with toroidal field ripple (TFR) and effects from ferromagn…

The UK has launched a programme to build a prototype fusion power plant, the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP), by 2040. It is intended that the STEP prototype will generate fusion power of the order of 1 GW and net electrical power of the order of 100 MW. Plasma scenarios that could be compatible with these design requirements and wit…
