When RF waves are applied in tokamaks with metal walls, sheath rectification effects associated with the fields induced in the scrape-off layer (SOL) may lead to enhanced plasma-wall interactions (i.e. heat-loads in the limiters, RF-induced impurity sources) which can endanger the integrity of the machine and limit the RF power. Although many co…

Nuclear fusion is the process that heats the stars by the collision of atomic nuclei which fuse together to form heavier elements and release energy. The generation of energy using this process has several advantages: no carbon emissions, abundant fuel supplies, efficiency, reliability and operationally safe. One way to achieve the necessary con…

The equipment used in some welding techniques (e.g. tungsten inert gas alternating current welding or capacitor discharge stud welding) can induce high electromagnetic fields inside the operator due to the large time-varying electric currents involved in the process. The European Union (EU) Directive 2013/35/EU provides guidelines and recommendatio…
