From Capitol Hill: Nuclear is back, critical for America’s energy future
The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy convened its first hearing of the year, “American Energy Dominance: Dawn of the New Nuclear Era,” on January 7, where lawmakers and industry leaders discussed how nuclear energy can help meet surging electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, advanced manufacturing, and national security needs.

Plasma parameters for a low-Q tokamak reactor GNOME were studied to meet the allowable heat load constraints of the divertor component. EQLAUS/ERATO codes and DRIVER88 codes were used for the core plasma models to determine the power flux into SOL regions for this calculation. Then, the heat flux to the divertor plate was estimated with a parameter of the radiation power at SOL/divertor regions. A simple Core-SOL-Divertor (C-S-D) model has been used for this purpose. Finally, three operation regions with the required radiation power to meet the allowable peak heat load were proposed.
