This paper describes progress achieved since 2007 in understanding disruptions in tokamaks, when the effect of plasma current sharing with the wall was introduced into theory. As a result, the toroidal asymmetry of the plasma current measurements during vertical disruption event (VDE) on the Joint European Torus was explained. A new kind of plasma …

The theory of variances of equilibrium reconstruction is presented. It complements existing practices with information regarding what kind of plasma characteristics can be reconstructed, how accurately, and what remains beyond the abilities of diagnostic systems. The -curves, introduced by the present theory, give a quantitative assessment of quali…

The HERCULES code was designed and developed to assist in the safety and environmental analysis tasks of the European Power Plant Conceptual Study (PPCS). However, its capabilities extend beyond this kind of analysis: coupling of the different computational tools and nuclear databases to the same geometry and material compositions, automation of in…
