To design a safe termination scenario for a burning ITER plasma is a challenge that requires extensive core plasma and divertor modelling. The presented work consists of coupled core/edge/SOL/divertor simulations, performed with the JINTRAC code, studying the Q=10 flat-top phase and exit phase of the ITER 15MA/5.3T DT scenario. The modelling uti…

The JET hybrid scenario has been developed from low plasma current carbon wall discharges to the record-breaking Deuterium-Tritium plasmas obtained in 2021 with the ITER-like Be/W wall. The development started in pure Deuterium with refinement of the plasma current, and toroidal magnetic field choices and succeeded in solving the heat load challeng…

2021 JET experimental campaign has produced high stationary fusion power with 50%D 50%T discharges, operated with the ITER-relevant conditions i.e. operation with the baseline or hybrid scenario in the full metallic wall. It has provided a unique opportunity to assess the DT fusion power prediction capability before ITER DT experiments. This paper …

In the paper we present an overview of interpretive modelling of a database of JET-ILW 2021 D-T discharges using the TRANSP code. Our main aim is to assess our capability of computationally reproducing the fusion performance of various D-T plasma scenarios using different external heating and D-T mixtures, and understand the performance driving mec…

Thomson scattered light is polarised in the same orientation as the incident laser beam at low electron temperatures. At high temperatures (>~4keV) part of the spectrum begins to become randomly polarised. First measurement of the depolarised Thomson scattering spectrum during were obtained from JET pulses 92038-92504. This paper builds upon …

Screening of high-Z (W) impurities from the confined plasma by the temperature gradient at the hot edge pedestal of fusion-grade H-mode plasmas has been demonstrated for the first time in the JET-ILW tokamak. Through careful optimisation of the hybrid-scenario, deuterium plasmas with sufficient heating power (≳ 32MW), high enough ion temperature …

This paper describes the development of electromagnetic plasma burn-through model. Full circuit equations describing the currents in solenoid, poloidal field coil, and toroidally conducting passive structure have been integrated into the differential equation system of the plasma energy and particle balances in DYON. This enables consistent calcula…

Disruption prediction and avoidance is critical for ITER and reactor-scale tokamaks to maintain steady plasma operation and to avoid damage to device components. The present status and results from the disruption event characterization and forecasting (DECAF) research effort are shown. The DECAF paradigm is primarily physics-based and provides q…
