Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

Within this report we summarize the technical and experimental effort made on high power neutral beam injector system (NBI) and diagnostics neutral beam injector (DINA-5M) which was installed at Gas Dynamic Trap device (GDT) last year. Basic components of NBI-systems and DINA are reviewed. Recent experimental results support the concept of the neutron source based on the gas dynamic trap.
