ANS joins others in seeking to discuss SNF/HLW impasse
The American Nuclear Society joined seven other organizations to send a letter to Energy Secretary Christopher Wright on July 8, asking to meet with him to discuss “the restoration of a highly functioning program to meet DOE’s legal responsibility to manage and dispose of the nation’s commercial and legacy defense spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW).”

Ion saturation currents in a Hanbit mirror plasma have been analyzed by using the wavelet bispectral method. From this bicoherence analysis, an interesting phase coherent mode has been found at a very low frequency. This mode seems to be generated by the low frequency turbulence which could be identified as either ion drift waves or interchange modes. The wave coupling process leading to this coherent structure is found to follow the resonant three-wave coupling with an exact frequency match. A brief review is given on this coherent turbulence structure in a Hanbit mirror plasma.
