Disruption runaway electron generation and mitigation in the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP)

Generation of Runaway Electrons (REs) during plasma disruptions is of great concern for ITER and future reactors based on the tokamak concept. Unmitigated RE generation in the current STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) concept design is modelled using the code DREAM, with hot-tail genera...
