PR: American Nuclear Society welcomes Senate confirmation of Ted Garrish as the DOE’s nuclear energy secretary
Washington, D.C. — The American Nuclear Society (ANS) applauds the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Theodore “Ted” Garrish as Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
“On behalf of over 11,000 professionals in the fields of nuclear science and technology, the American Nuclear Society congratulates Mr. Garrish on being confirmed by the Senate to once again lead the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy,” said ANS President H.M. "Hash" Hashemian.

We report new experimental results from a 1.5-MW, 110-GHz gyrotron with a single-stage depressed collector. The gyrotron was operated in the TE22,6 mode with 3-s pulse duration. An internal mode converter, which consists of a launcher and four mirrors, has been installed and tested. A highly Gaussian-like output beam was observed. A single-stage depressed collector has been operated for the study of efficiency enhancement using the same cavity V-2005 as was used in a previous experiment in the axial configuration, in which the output microwave beam propagated through a circular waveguide that also served as a collector. Output power of 1.5 MW, corresponding to 50% efficiency, was measured at 97 kV of beam voltage and 42 A of beam current at 25 kV of collector depression voltage. The results are compared between the axial configuration and the internal mode converter configuration.
