Radiative heat load distribution on the EU-DEMO first wall due to mitigated disruptions
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2020 The EU-DEMO First Wall (FW) will be a relatively thin structure. In order not to damage this layer, heat loads distributed onto the wall should be carefully controlled.

Status and future development of Heating and Current Drive for the EU DEMO
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2022 The European DEMO is a pulsed device with pulse length of 2 hours. The functions devoted to the heating and current drive system are: plasma breakdown, plasma ramp-up to the flat-top where fusion reactions occur, the control of the plasma during the flat-top phase, and finally the plasma ramp-down.

Impact of the plasma operation on the technical requirements in EU-DEMO
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2022 The plasma design point during stationary phase operation of EU-DEMO has been described extensively in the past, and the assumptions employed for its definition have been supported by various investigations. However, a stationary snapshot is by far not sufficient to ensure the actual operability of the plasma scenario.

Optimizing the EU-DEMO pellet fuelling scheme
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020 Efficient fuelling will be an essential task in the EU-DEMO. The basic requirement here is to establish the target plasma core density with a minimum particle flux by injecting mm-size solid fuel pellets. Modelling showed this requires a pellet launch from the vessel inboard.
