Abstract
In this paper, conditioning procedures presently used in tokamaks are descr ibed. Long discharge operation has been achieved in the Tore Supra. Moreove r, Tore Supra is the only Tokamak in the world which operates with a perman ent magnetic held as foreseen in future fusion reactors. Normal glow discha rge conditioning appears to be inefficient in this case. Therefore, special conditioning procedures have been developed at Tore Supra which are addres sed in this paper.
