Abstract.  Since March 2001 TEXTOR undergoes a rebuild to install the Dynamic Ergodic Divertor (DED). TEXTOR will come into operation in August. During the campaigns before the shutdown new results were obtained on: -Internal electron transport barriers found in NCS- but also in normal L-mode plasmas related to specific q-values; -Further improvements of the RI-mode with central ECRH and extension towards trans-Greenwald densities; -Magnetic islands giving enhancement/reduction of turbulent fluctuations and transport around X-/O-points respectively; -Fast ion dynamics during sawtooth crashes measured with Collective Thomson Scattering; -Impurity transport analysis gave diffusion coefficients and inward convection values to be compared with gyro-Bohm/ITG-model predictions; -Erosion/deposition of carbon, fuel retention and hydrogen recycling near limiters.
