For interaction studies, impurity pellets of stainless steel and plastic carbon with a diameter of 0.5 mm and a velocity of 400 ± 100 m·s−1 have been injected into plasmas driven by fast wave current, with a sustained plasma current of 35-50 kA and an electron density of (2-5) × 1012 cm−3. The density rise is (6-8) × 1012 cm−3 for stainless steel pellets and 4 × 1012 cm−3 for plastic carbon pellets. At pellet injection, the current driven plasmas show no disruption, whereas all of the Ohmic discharges are disruptive. These phenomena are interpreted by a difference in the collision time with ablated pellets between thermal and non-thermal electrons. From measurements of the temporal evolution of the soft X-ray emission, the decay time of the injected impurity is estimated to be 25 ms. The effective charge states of the material of the injected pellets are calculated from the density rise and it is found that they are in the range of 0.8-1.5.
