Disruption prediction and avoidance is critical in ITER and reactor-scale tokamaks to maintain steady plasma operation and to avoid damage to device components. The present status and results from the physics-based disruption event characterization and forecasting (DECAF) research effort are shown for multiple tokamak devices. Present analysis of K…

"Equilibrium and Stability Calculations of MAST Spherical Torus Plasmas in Preparation for MAST-U"
46th European Physical Society Conference on Plasma Physics (EPS), Milan, 8-12 July 2019

J.W. Berkery S.A. Sabbagh J. Bialek

Disruption prediction and avoidance is necessary in future MAST-U spherical tokamak discharges to enable long-pulse plasma operation. Research examining the stability of plasmas in the MAST database utilizing proposed high quality kinetic equilibrium reconstructions and calculations with various codes, including the Disruption Event Characterizatio…
