DOE announces awards for three university nuclear education outreach programs
The Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy has announced more than $590,000 in funding awards to help three universities enhance their outreach in nuclear energy education. The awards, which are part of the DOE Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) University Reactor Sharing and Outreach Program, are primarily designed to provide students in K-12, vocational schools, and colleges with access to university research reactors in order to increase awareness of nuclear science, engineering, and technology and to foster early interest in nuclear energy-related careers.

Chapter 6. 3-D Theory | Special Issue on Large Helical Device (LHD) | doi.org/10.13182/FST10-A10811
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
Theoretical MHD analyses of the Large Helical Device (LHD) plasmas have progressed extensively. Recent results with respect to three-dimensional equilibrium, linear stability, and nonlinear dynamics are presented. Magnetic island variation due to finite-beta effect, the second stability of ballooning modes and related features, self-organization in nonlinear evolution of interchange modes, high-accuracy nonlinear calculation for ballooning modes up to high toroidal wave number, and plasma collapse in the ballooning mode dynamics are discussed.
