Higher elongation is beneficial for fusion performance, but comes with increased vertical instability growth rate and thus increased risk of vertical displacement event (VDE) type disruptions.<ref>D.A.

Because of vertical stability constraints, <math>\kappa</math> is usually limited to a value close to about 1.8. | |||
