Simulations and theory are presented of an ITER locked mode thermal quench (TQ). In present experiments, locked mode disruptions have a long precursor phase, followed by a rapid termination and thermal quench, which can be identified with a resistive wall tearing mode (RWTM). In ITER, the RWTM will be slowed by the highly conductive vacuum vessel. The rapid termination might be absent, and the plasma could remain in the precursor phase. If the edge temperature is in the collisional regime, the TQ would proceed on a long timescale, limited by the RWTM to almost $100\hspace{0.17em}\mathrm{ms}$. This is an important self-mitigating effect.

ITER 锁定模式中断中的热淬灭

提供了 ITER 锁定模式热猝灭 (TQ) 的模拟和理论。在目前的实验中，锁定模式破坏有一个很长的前体阶段，然后是快速终止和热淬火，这可以用电阻壁撕裂模式 (RWTM) 来识别。在 ITER 中，RWTM 将被高导电性真空容器减慢。可能不存在快速终止，并且等离子体可能保留在前体相中。如果边缘温度处于碰撞状态，TQ 将在很长的时间尺度上进行，受 RWTM 的限制几乎$100\hspace{0.17em}\mathrm{多发性硬化症}$. 这是一个重要的自我缓解作用。
