In order to reduce flux of neutrals into the plasma confinement volume, discharge start-up scenario maintained by impulse gas puffing (GP) has been proposed. Absence of constant working gas feeding in this scenario opens a possibility to reduce working gas pressure in the U-3M vacuum vessel. It was...
