ORNL to partner with Type One, UTK on fusion facility
Yesterday, Oak Ridge National Laboratory announced that it is in the process of partnering with Type One Energy and the University of Tennessee–Knoxville. That partnership will have one primary goal: to establish a high-heat flux facility (HHF) at the Tennessee Valley Authority’s Bull Run Energy Complex in Clinton, Tenn.

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.
