Description
Description of issue / requirement to address
At present, PROCESS has no models for runaway electron generation.
A good 0D fluid model paper was just recently released;
B. Zaar, I. Pusztai, I. Ekmark, and T. Fülöp, “An analytical criterion for significant runaway electron generation in activated tokamaks,” Journal of Plasma Physics, vol. 92, no. 2, p. E46, 2026. doi:10.1017/S0022377826101470
Proposed solution
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No implementation file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reading CONTRIBUTING.MD and the cited paper, then trace how existing PROCESS models are structured and selected. Done means adding and validating a defined 0D runaway-electron generation model, with its scope and expected behavior documented.
