The magnetic effects of a disruption (associated with the sudden loss of the net plasma current) generates large magnetic forces on the metallic structures surrounding the plasma (the vessel, the coils, and the supporting structure), also known as Vertical Displacement Events, which may induce mechanical damage. | The magnetic effects of a disruption (associated with the sudden loss of the net plasma current) generates large magnetic forces on the metallic structures surrounding the plasma (the vessel, the coils, and the supporting structure), also known as Vertical Displacement Events, which may induce mechanical damage. | ||
