DOE opens pilot program to authorize test reactors outside national labs
Details of the plan to test new reactor concepts under the Department of Energy’s authority but outside national laboratory boundaries—first outlined in one of the four executive orders on nuclear energy released on May 23—were just released in a request for applications issued by the DOE.

Plasma turbulence driven by the Ion Temperature Gradient) is investigated by gyrofluid simulation in slab geometry for the analysis of statistical characteristics as well as transport and detailed structure of turbulence. It is found that even in the presence of the zonal flows, background turbulence has radial structure with different time scale. However, it is found that this structure is subject to the same correlation dimension, which means the turbulent may be governed by a single dynamics despite of different time scale.
