Abstract

This paper presents the results of the latest analysis of disruption in tokamaks and the prediction of disruptions in ITER. The emphasis is on predictions of the halo current and its toroidal asymmetry in ITER, a study of runaway electron formation and an analysis of the concept for fast plasma shutdown by impurity injection. The concept of the plasma shutdown based on a massive injection of deuterium is also discussed.
