Seeking an international consensus on the mitigation of Edge Localized Modes (ELMs), more than 40 specialists from around the world participated in a tele-video conference organized by the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ in Cadarache last Friday.
One of the main issues discussed was whether the current plan for ELM mitigation is sufficient to ensure the success of the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ mission and in particular, whether coils to induce Resonant Magnetic Perturbations (RMP) located in the vacuum vessel water-cooling channel should be incorporated into the design. The IO has been evaluating the technical feasibility of incorporating such RMP coils.
