The IAEA Technical Committee Meeting on Disruptions and Density Limits was hosted by the JET Joint Undertaking at the instigation of the International Atomic Energy Agency and was attended by 49 participants from 9 countries. This report is intended as a brief review of the meeting for readers who are not necessarily specialists in disruptions. The meeting commenced with a review by J.A. Wesson (JET) of our present understanding of disruptions. He identified five different types of disruption: density limit, low q, current rise, beta limit and vertical instability. The density limit disruption has been the most extensively studied. Wesson identified four distinct phases in its development.
