The last days of Hallam
The Hallam nuclear power plant, about 25 miles southwest of Lincoln, Neb., was an important part of the Atomic Energy Commission’s Reactor Power Demonstration Program. But in the end, it operated for only 6,271 hours and generated about 192.5 million kilowatt-hours of electric power during its short, 15-month life.

The report presents the recent results of experiments with deuterium neutral beam injection in the Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT) device. Neutron scintillation detector and single particle proton detector near fast ions mirror point allow to control DD activity in each shot. A system for spatial measurements of fusion protons is prepared. DD reaction yield measurements are needed to compare with the predictions of the theory based on two-body Coulomb collisions.
