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.

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.
