Data-driven study of major disruption prediction and plasma instabilities across multiple tokamaks

The use of nuclear fusion energy via magnetic-confinement tokamaks is one of a few encouraging paths toward future sustainable energy. Along the way, scientists need to learn to avoid plasma disruptions: these sudden and unexpected plasma terminations still represent one of the key challenges for to...
