| The occurrence of an ELM leads to a significant expulsion of heat and particles, with deleterious consequences for the vessel wall and machine operation.
| |
| Although Quiescent H-modes exist (without ELMs),

| they are generally considered not convenient due to the accumulation of impurities.
| |
| To achieve steady state, an ELMy H-mode is preferred and this mode of operation is proposed as the standard operating scenario for [[ITER]], thus converting ELM mitigation into a priority.
