Recent study on simultaneous pellet injection in fusion plasmas indicates significant impact on disruption mitigation compared to single pellet injection. The experiment involving multiple shattered pellets in DIII-D provides insights for ITER planning. Observed effects of multiple pellets in DIII-D plasmas deviate from expectations, necessitating adjustments in extrapolating results to ITER scenarios.

Simultaneous pellet injection observed to impact disruption mitigation metrics compared to single pellet injection in DIII-D • Multiple shattered pellets injected for the first time as planned for ITER • Effect of multiple pellets appears to not sum directly in DIII-D plasmas expected measured • Extrapolation of single-SPI results to ITER may need to account for such effects
