== ELMs and machine operation ==
I had no idea how to approach this before—now I’m locked and laoded.
 
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.
