Abstract
In order to reduce the EM loads on plasma chamber and the related stresses due to plasma disruptions, a new approach has been investigated based on the possibility of mitigating these loads by using copper toroidal layers added to the plasma chamber in proper positions. We found that this expedient could be quite effective not only in increasing the time constant of the plasma displacement but even in reducing the vertical force and its combined effect with hoop force on the vessel during a vertical displacement event (VDE).
