Digital control system installed at China’s Linglong One
Earlier this month, the first digital control system was put in place at Linglong One, a small modular reactor demonstration project being built at the Changjiang nuclear power plant in Hainan Province. This is the world’s first land-based commercial SMR and is controlled by China National Nuclear Power Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC).

Langmuir probe data were measured in the edge of the central cell plasma of the Hanbit magnetic mirror device. The data were obtained during radio frequency discharge plasma operation. Up to 200 kW heating power was applied at 3.75 MHz. Ion saturation current measurements from three fixed probe arrays were made for intercomparison of the edge plasma density profiles. In addition, measurements of the electron temperature, electron density and floating potential were made in a radial scan of the edge plasma using a movable triple Langmuir probe. The experimental results from these probe measurements are described.
