Abstract
Experimental results from TEXTOR are presented to provide strong evide nce for the feasibility of the ''cold radiative plasma mantle'', a con cept which might be a possible solution for the energy exhaust problem in a fusion reactor. The concept is compared with the high density di vertor. The compatibility to other constraints, limitations and open p roblems are discussed, in particular the issues of stationarity (feed- back control, thermal instabilities, q=2), energy confinement, He-exha ust and fuel dilution.
