Deep Isolation asks states to include waste disposal in their nuclear strategy
Nuclear waste disposal technology company Deep Isolation is asking that the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) consider how spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste will be managed under its strategy for developing advanced nuclear power projects in participating states.

A feasibility study for the heavy ion beam probe on the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator was done to provide measurements of the radial profiles of plasma potential, density, and their fluctuations. Calculations of probing Tl+ beam trajectories were done for the various W7-X magnetic configurations with Btor = 2.5 T. They show that satisfactory access is possible for K11-N11 port combination. The trajectory optimization aiming for the maximal plasma observation was done for the chosen port combination.
