Gov. Sherrill signs bill to begin nuclear procurement in N.J.
On July 13, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed the Power NJ Act, a bill that directs the state’s Board of Public Utilities (BPU), in collaboration with the state’s Economic Development Authority, to establish an “advanced nuclear energy procurement program.”

We propose to use dispersion interferometer for measurement of plasma density and control of plasma position on present and future fusion devices. Distinguishing feature of this scheme is probing of plasma on two wavelengths. Short-wave radiation is formed by method of frequency fundamental radiation doubling. Probing first and second harmonics rays are combined spatially at the same time. It allows to create interferometer which is sensitive only to dispersion of studied medium and weakly sensitive to vibration of optical elements. Designs of the optical system dispersion interferometer and results of plasma density measurements on GDT mirror and TEXTOR tokamak are presented.
