PR: American Nuclear Society welcomes Senate confirmation of Ted Garrish as the DOE’s nuclear energy secretary
Washington, D.C. — The American Nuclear Society (ANS) applauds the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Theodore “Ted” Garrish as Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
“On behalf of over 11,000 professionals in the fields of nuclear science and technology, the American Nuclear Society congratulates Mr. Garrish on being confirmed by the Senate to once again lead the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy,” said ANS President H.M. "Hash" Hashemian.

The radial particle flux induced by the fluctuation is measured by a Gold Neutral Beam Probe. Then the transient transport phenomenon induced by the fluctuation is investigated in the tandem mirror GAMMA 10. When the drift wave is excited at the central cell, the density near the center is reduced and the divergence of the flux becomes similar to the time derivative of the electron density. It shows that the density reduction is caused by the flux induced by the drift wave. After the density reduction, the drift wave is saturated and comes to the steady state because the density reduction accompanies the reduction of density gradient. Therefore, the transport phenomenon accompanying the growth and saturation of the drift wave is observed experimentally. In the steady state, the phase difference obeys the boltzman relation including the electron non-adiabatic term.
