Abstract.  Recent new results concerning toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmode (TAE) linear stability and non-linear amplitude saturation and associated fast ion transport are presented for tokamaks such as National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) and International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), using numerical codes HINST, NOVA and ORBIT.
