Generated a new equilibrium to remove “wave” on inboard side of plasma
Solenoid is now composed of 2 coils rather than 5 coils
Will send out new eqdsk

TSC simulation is progressing, not there yet
Plasma lays on inner wall

Work to do
Started using new equilibria in time-dependent scenario, keep plasma diverted
Raise parameters to power plant levels….obtain high fusion powerRaise densityIncrease impurity/radiated powerEstablish 100% non-inductive currentEstablish L-H transition and ITB transitionPTRANSP for more source modeling consistency
Begin disruption sequence based on ITER disruption prescriptions
Start to examine structure configurations for disruption analysisFW conductors, toroidally continuous vs non-continuousOther structures/configurations that could pose conducting paths (manifolds, shield, strong-back…)
