Abstract
The average values of the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma quantities of FTU, density, temperature e-folding lengths are studied as a function of the main plasma parameters and satisfactorily compared with 2D mode l predictions. The cause of their poloidal asymmetry is investigated a nd attributed to the variation of the magnetic line connection length. A self consistent model of the FTU plasma, 0D in the core and 1D in t he SOL, can reproduce the main features of the impurity production and power radiation in FTU.
