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.”

The long-pulse plasma discharge experiment is an important experiment in the Large Helical Device, which has a superconducting coil system and the capability of steady-state operation. The experiment of long-pulse plasma discharge was carried out using mainly ion cyclotron range of frequencies heating. The maximum plasma duration is 31 min and 45 s, and the total injected heating energy reached 1.3 GJ. Swing of the magnetic axis is adopted as an effective method to scatter the local heat load on the divertor plate during the discharge. The plasma was terminated abruptly by the influx of metallic impurities accompanied by a spark in the vacuum vessel.
