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.

Gas puff imaging is a two-dimensional diagnostic that measures the edge D light emission from a neutral D2 gas puff near the outer midplane of the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX). DEGAS 2 is a three-dimensional Monte Carlo code used to model neutral transport and plasma-neutral interactions in fusion plasmas. In this paper, we compare the measured and modeled D light emission for specific NSTX experiments. Both the simulated spatial distribution and the radiance of the D light emission agree well with the experimental data obtained during time periods between edge-localized modes (ELMs) in ELMy H-modes.
