Modelling of ohmic startup and runaway electron formation in support of JT-60SA initial operation

The plasma startup with ITER-relevant sub-mPa neutral pressures in the JT-60SA superconducting tokamak is studied using a zero-dimensional (0D) power balance model for the plasma burn-through phase. In the ohmic startup scenario assumed here, the lower limit of the operational neutral pressure is de...
