A preliminary experiment for triggering a plasma current quench by means of injection of high_Z impurities has been performed on the HL_1M before the major disruption.Using injection of impurity with higher charge of the nuclei allows u s to increase the radiation cooling on a 3?ms time scale and the electronic tem perature loss contract is 80% before current terminates.It can be a simple and p otential approach to decrease significantly the plasma thermal energy and the ma gnetic field energy before a disruption and to a safe plasma termination.
