Nuclear fusion is considered a promising alternative for power generation, potentially superior to fission, due to reduced operation radioactivity, the low nuclear waste production, and the intrinsic impossibility to develop a diverging reaction. Extensive research in the development of this power source is ongoing for several decades now. The next generation of Tokamak devices (the ITER reactor under construction and, later, DEMO), is the first expected to produce more power than that needed to sustain the nuclear reactions. One of the possible show-stoppers in the operation of the tokamak fusion reactors is the occurrence of disruptions, un-controlled events leading potentially to the deposition of a few GJ energy onto the wall in a few ms.
