U.K.’s NWS gets input from young people on geological disposal
Nuclear Waste Services, the radioactive waste management subsidiary of the United Kingdom’s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, has reported on its inaugural year of the National Youth Forum on Geological Disposal forum. NWS set up the initiative, in partnership with the environmental consultancy firm ARUP and the not-for-profit organization The Young Foundation, to give young people the chance to share their views on the government’s plans to develop a geological disposal facility (GDF) for the safe, secure, and long-term disposal of radioactive waste.

Recently a magnetic divertor was introduced in the HIEI tandem mirror as an effective stabilization method, and the second harmonic resonance ion heating was examined. The purpose of the paper is to clarify the physical mechanism of the ion heating. RF field with large wave number was confirmed in the divertor configuration which could not be found out in the nondivertor configuration. Power absorption in the vicinity of the second harmonic resonance regions was also confirmed.
