College students help develop waste-measuring device at Hanford
A partnership between Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) and Washington State University has resulted in the development of a device to measure radioactive and chemical tank waste at the Hanford Site. WRPS is the contractor at Hanford for the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management.

This work presents a concise overview of some energetic particle issues in stellarators. The main attention is paid to stochastic diffusion of the energetic ions and Alfvén instabilities caused by these ions. The results of theoretical studies and numerical modeling of Alfvénic activities, in particular, experiments on the Wendelstein 7-AS and Large Helical Device, are presented.
