Explanation:
"If the plasma current quench takes place in a time short compared with the vertical resistive plasma motion (e.g., < 100 ms) no significant total net vertical forces are generated in the
whole passive structure. Nonetheless, given the up-down asymmetric coupling of the ITER plasma with the passive conducting structure, significant plasma fast vertical displacements
may take place. A significant poloidal current may also be induced in the passive structure as a consequence of the variation of toroidal flux (during thermal and current quench). This current leads to loads internal to the vessel without significant transfer of forces to the magnet."
