Nuclear News 40 Under 40—2025
Last year, we proudly launched the inaugural Nuclear News 40 Under 40 list to shine a spotlight on the exceptional young professionals driving the nuclear sector forward as the nuclear community faces a dramatic generational shift. We weren’t sure how a second list would go over, but once again, our members resoundingly answered the call, confirming what we already knew: The nuclear community is bursting with vision, talent, and extraordinary dedication.

This paper reports the recent results of measurements on the effect of plasma heating on enhancement of the ion flux in GAMMA 10. Recently, by using its end-loss flux, a study of the divertor simulation experiment has been started in the tandem mirror GAMMA 10. From its large size and unique characteristics, we can expect that unique divertor simulation experiments, which could not be held in other simple, linear divertor simulation machines, can be performed in GAMMA 10. In the experiment, it was found that high ion temperature of the end-loss ion flux was already achieved. In addition, ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating in the anchor region was found to be very effective to increase the end-loss ion flux, which supports the huge potential of GAMMA 10 for the divertor simulation experiment.
