In this paper, experimental data, simulations and theory are presented of a JET tokamak thermal quench. The emphasis is on the timescale of the bulk plasma thermal energy loss. The simulations suggest that the thermal energy loss is caused by a resistive wall tearing mode, and experimental data is consistent with this conclusion. The time scale of the thermal quench is the inverse of the mode growth rate.
