ANS and the U.K.’s NI announce reciprocal membership agreement
With President Trump on a state visit to the U.K., in part to sign a landmark new agreement on U.S.-U.K. nuclear collaboration, a flurry of transatlantic partnerships and deals bridging the countries’ nuclear sectors have been announced.
The American Nuclear Society is taking an active role in this bridge-building by forming a reciprocal membership agreement with the U.K.’s Nuclear Institute.

In order to determine if a simple magnetic cusp, which is axisymmetric, can be used as an end cell (anchor and plug) for a tandem mirror reactor, a large (50 cm) bore, superconducting, magnetic cusp is being built at the University of Missouri. Prior to the construction of this device, an approximately half scale normal magnetic cusp was built, and experiments involving ECRF heating were conducted, to better establish the design conditions for the large, high field (4-Tesla) cusp.
