Two types of radiative disruptions in tokamaks
Gruzinov A. V., Morozov D. Kh.
The nature of a radiative disruption in a tokamak is studied as a function of the mass of the radiating impurity. The thermoelectric power exerted on the impurity particles by the plasma causes a symmetric disruption in the case of a heavy impurity and a MARFE disruption in the case of a light impurity.
