Description

The observed photoneutron yields due to major plasma disruptions in JET fall in the range from 1010 to 1015 neutrons, with instantaneous intensities reaching 5.1017 neutrons/sec. The runaway electron energies can exceed 60 MeV and the currents of high energy electrons can reach 1 MA. On average, the fraction of the available poloidal magnetic field energy that is transferred to high energy runaway electrons is f ∼ 3 x 10-2 Ip0.6, with plasma current IP in MA
