Researchers use one-of-a-kind expertise and capabilities to test fuels of tomorrow
At the Idaho National Laboratory Hot Fuel Examination Facility, containment box operator Jake Maupin moves a manipulator arm into position around a pencil-thin nuclear fuel rod. He is preparing for a procedure that he and his colleagues have practiced repeatedly in anticipation of this moment in the hot cell.

The report presents the results of electromagnetic system (EMS) design for the neutron plasma generator based on the gas-dynamic trap. The magnetic field configuration of cusp type is used as a MHD-stabilizer on one of the «behind-the-mirror» zones. Proof is given for the necessity and advantages of the vertical arrangement of the EMS solenoids. Proposals are presented for further EMS design.
NOTE: The studies were made according to the project 492-96 “Plasma neutron Generator based on the Gas Dynamic Trap”. The customer of this project is International Science and Technology Center (ISTC).
