Division Spotlight
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

The model of anomalous transport in cylindrical plasma configurations is suggested. The model is based on the study of the particle dynamics under the action of drift waves, and anomalous transport is considered as a result of stochastization of particle motion under influence of many mode perturbation. Plasma conditions correspond to experiments on of GAMMA-10 tandem mirror. The effect of anomalous transport suppression due to radial electric field, and physical picture of H mode are considered. Obtained results are compared with experimental data obtained on GAMMA-10 tandem mirror and field reversed configurations (FRCs).
