Popis: The MHD activity of plasma configurations with reversed magnetic shear has been investigated on the FTU tokamak. In the presence of pairs of surfaces with the same rational value q = m/n of the safety factor, double-tearing modes are excited which give rise in most cases to bursts of sawtooth-like profile rearrangements. More stable regimes have also been found, in which the activity is dominated by rotating saturated modes. In a particular case with q(0) approximate to 2.8 and q(min) approximate to 2.5 a discharge without any detectable MHD activity during the current flat-top has been obtained. In high-temperature regimes (T-e x 8 keV at n(e) approximate to 0.8 x 10(20) m(-3)), an irregular activity has been detected near the plasma centre which could be due to the excitation of resistive interchange modes.
