Description
Numerical simulations of tokamak plasmas are presented which reproduce the basic observed behavior of disruptions. Details are given of the onset of the disruption: initiated in the simulations by the m=2 island intersecting the limiter or cold-gas region: and of the mechanism of the final (total or partial) plasma loss
