	During [[TJ-II]] discharges, hard X-rays are generated by fast electrons during the ramp-up, flattop and ramp-down phases of the coil currents. In order to reduce the generation of runaway electrons, a mechanical shutter has been installed. It consists of a pneumatically operated paddle that is swept through the poloidal magnetic surfaces in a few milliseconds both before and after the flattop, thus intercepting electrons associated with the magnetic field lines over the whole cross section. Initial experiments have shown efficient suppression of these electrons. <ref>~~[http://rsi.aip.org/resource/1/rsinak/v70/i1/p645_s1~~ L. Rodríguez-Rodrigo, A. López-Fraguas, and A. Gabriel.
