The IAEA previously organized meetings in this area in 1987, 1991, and 1993. More recently, specialised events in the field took place, like the workshop on runaway electrons (REs) in ITER, the workshop on theory and simulation of disruptions, the workshop on RE modelling, and the ITER disruption mitigation workshop.
The IAEA technical meeting on plasma disruptions and their mitigation jointly organized with the ITER Organization was started in 2020. The second meeting was held in 2022 and the third meeting in 2024.
