Matt Wald on nuclear power
Wald
Matt Wald, an independent energy analyst and a writer who contributes to the Breakthrough Institute and has written feature articles for Nuclear News, recently shared his nuclear perspectives in a Zoom talk with Friends of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering ORNL’s scientific goals.
Missed opportunity: Wald, a former reporter for The New York Times and a former policy analyst for the Nuclear Energy Institute, feels that the nuclear industry and community “have committed industrial sin. Nuclear suffered through a long drought, and now it sees terrific demand for its product, and it’s not ready to deliver the needed electricity.”

Using voltage biasing to ten concentric rings, profiles of plasma density and high azimuthal rotation velocity in a supersonic regime were controlled under three magnetic field configurations in a cylindrical magnetized RF produced plasma. Low frequency (< 4 kHz) density oscillation was identified as a drift wave type: propagation in the electron diamagnetic direction, which is opposite to the edge plasma rotation.
