 Calculation of kink instabilities for ITER: Clearly visible are the currents induced by the deforming plasma (marked in purple) in the vessel wall, perforated with numerous ports. (picture courtesy IPP) First calculations showed that using active feedback stabilization, the ITER plasma could remain stable up to a plasma pressure that would be 50 per cent higher than it would have been without such stabilization. Experimental investigations in IPP's ASDEX Upgrade tokamak device are planned to further investigate the findings. Read the IPP press release here. << return to Newsline #12 |
