The sudden degradation of the energy confinement characterizing major density limit disruptions, has been observed to initiate close to the q=2 surface, in a small and medium size tokamak. A flattening of the electron temperature profile spreads inwards from the outboard O-point of the 2/1 mode. This initiates the destruction of the energy confinement. This paper reports on observations of this sequence of ev...
