They are used to improve plasma confinement and stability properties, and to drive additional bootstrap current. Therefore, they are included in some alternative operational scenarios for [[ITER]]. | They are used to improve plasma confinement and stability properties, and to drive additional [[Bootstrap current|bootstrap current]].
