Anna Bradford to lead NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
Anna Bradford has been named the new head of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. NRC Chair Ho Nieh called Bradford “a superb candidate to lead the team that oversees the safety of our nuclear reactor operating fleet. We are eager to have someone of her experience both here and abroad back at the NRC.” Her appointment will become effective in May.

The main problem to manufacture the superconducting helical coil for the heliotron fusion reactor is to develop an easily demountable joint of superconductor. We have designed an “Inserting Method” joint for this purpose and measured the contact resistance at liquid helium temperature and the tensile strength of the joint at liquid nitrogen temperature. We have confirmed the possibility to apply the “Inserting Method” joint to the superconducting demountable helical coil.
