Abstract
Wall erosion by unipolar arcs has been found i n the T-10 tokamak of the Kurchatov Institute, Moscow, by the use of a movable probe. Arc current and arc duration are deduced from photographs of the arc tracks, yielding values about 100 A, 50 μs, respectively. Some correlations between arcing and the main discharge are discussed.Keywords
