TerraPower announces second Ac-225 production facility
TerraPower Isotopes, a TerraPower subsidiary, plans to increase its actinium-225 production 20-fold by opening a new manufacturing facility in Philadelphia, Pa., and by expanding the capacity of its Everett, Wash., facility. On March 17, TerraPower Isotopes said it expects the new facility to begin producing the medical radioisotope for targeted alpha therapy in 2029.

Plasma density measurements are one of the important studies for achievement of nuclear fusion reaction. We have studied plasma electron density distributions and plasma frequency fluctuation by using microwave interferometers etc. in GAMMA 10. We show the first results of 2-dimensional plasma density distributions measurement under some conditions of the electron cyclotron resonance heating microwave power in GAMMA 10.
