The transport of impurities into Ohmic and ion-cyclotron radio-frequency-(ICRF)-heated plasmas has been studied by laser blow-off injection of vanadium. No difference has been found between the two experimental situations although degradation of the energy confinement time is observed in ICRF-heated plasmas in the mode conversion regime. Additionally, simulation of the sawtooth-modulated He-like V21+resonance line has shown that the impurity transport parameters are not modified by the internal disruptions.
