Due to the fact that in stellarators, confinement does not depend on the plasma current, disruptions are less severe or inexistent in such machines, which is a significant advantage for the design of a future reactor. | Due to the fact that in stellarators, confinement does not depend on the plasma current, disruptions are less severe or inexistent in such machines, which is a significant advantage for the design of a future reactor. | ||
