A turbulence mechanism which could explain the internal disruptions and the negative spikes which are observed in Tokamaks is discussed. If the flux lines become ergodic between two magnetic surfaces r=r1 and r=r2 r1<r2, this ergodicity tends to flatten the current density profile between r1 and r2, and this eventually induces a large electric field E, positive on the side r=r1 and negative on the side r=r2. The field E induces by skin effect spatial pulses of current density in the unperturbed domain near r=r1 and r=r2. These pulses may drive unstable tearing modes with large transverse wave numbers, and so extend the domain (r1r2) where the ergodicity takes place. The first step of the phenomena could be a tearing instability of the separatrix of the magnetic islands which are normally present near the magnetic surfaces q=1 or q=2.
