摘要: It is suggested that, in a tokamak discharge, the initial rapid current penetration and disruptive instability may each be attributed to type of nonlinear double-tearing which causes growth overlap radially separated magnetic islands. The ensuing reconnection braiding lines would enhance local radial heat particle transport could permit redistribution plasma current, inducing positive or negative spikes loop-voltage signal. (AIP)
