Standard Nuclear executes OTA with DOE
Reactor-agnostic TRISO fuel producer Standard Nuclear recently announced that it has executed an other transaction agreement (OTA) with the Department of Energy. As one of the five companies involved in the DOE’s Fuel Line Pilot Program, its entrance into this deal marks a milestone in the public-private effort to bring advanced fuel production on line in support of the DOE’s concurrently running Reactor Pilot Program.

For diagnostics of confined and escaping particles in burning plasma, we have proposed to apply the measurements of the gamma rays from D(,)6Li and 19F(,n)22Na nuclear reactions and verified the validity to the diagnostics by accelerator experiments. From our experiments, we obtained the properties of the emitted gamma rays and some prospects for the diagnostics on ITER-like plasma based on their measurements. This paper discusses the spectrum properties of the emitted gamma rays and their applications to particles diagnostics.
