abstract = {For electricity producing tokamak fusion reactors like
EU-DEMO, it is prudent to choose a plasma scenario close to
the ITER baseline, where the largest amount of experimental
evidence is available. Nevertheless, there are some aspects
in which ITER and EU-DEMO have to differ, as the simple
exercise of up-scaling from ITER to a larger device is
constrained both by physical nonlinearities and by
technological limits. In this work, relevant differences
between ITER and the current EU-DEMO baseline in terms of
plasma scenario are discussed. Firstly, EU-DEMO is assumed
to operate with a very large amount of radiative power
originating both from the scrape-off layer and, markedly,
from the core. This radiation level is obtained by means of
seeded impurities, whose presence significantly affects many
aspects of the scenario itself, especially in terms of
transient control. Secondly, because of the need of breeding
tritium, the EU-DEMO wall is less robust than the ITER one.
This implies that every off-normal interruption of the
plasma discharge, for example in presence of a divertor
reattachment, cannot rely on fast-shutdown procedures
finally triggering a loss of plasma control at high current,
but other strategies need to be developed. Thirdly, the ITER
method for the control of the so-called sawteeth (ST) has
been shown to be too expensive in terms of auxiliary power
requirements, thus other solutions have to be explored.
Finally, the problem of actively mitigating, or suppressing,
the Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) has recently increased the
interest on naturally ELM-free regimes (like QH-mode,
I-mode, and also negative triangularity) for EU-DEMO, thus
increasing the needs for ELM mitigation or suppression with
respect to the approach adopted in ITER.},
