Abstract :
The concept for a plasma shutdown system has been studied for fusion experimental reactors. An impurity pellet injection system was proposed as the plasma shutdown system. The density limit disruption is employed by using impurity pellet injection. The main principal functions of the impurity pellet injection system were checked after its trial manufacture
