Recent MHD simulations find that the reversal of the local resistive interchange parameter

from negative to positive due to impurity radiation cooling is able to linearly destabilize the resistive tearing mode (TM) growth in a tokamak above a threshold in impurity level. A layer of perturbed Pfirsch–Schlüter current density and resistivity are also induced by the impurity radiation, which further govern the TM growth and saturation in the nonlinear stage. The impurity threshold and the TM growth strongly depend on the parallel thermal conductivity, and such a dependence derives from the impact on

of the fast parallel thermal equilibration along the helical magnetic field lines.
