Abstract. Scaling of Type I ELM energy losses from existing experiments to
the ITER-FEAT reference inductive scenario shows that the ELM energy loss is
12 MJ, marginal from divertor lifetime considerations. B2-Eirene
modelling of the transient radiative losses induced by the ELMs shows a
factor of 2 reduction of the divertor load for small ELMs but not for the
expected 12 MJ ELMs. Regimes with reduced ELM sizes (Type II)
compatible with the ITER-FEAT reference performance would be required to
achieve a long lifetime of the divertor target.
