Indiana Senate bill will have state consider SMRs
Doriot
Koch
A new bill in the Indiana state Senate creates guidelines for state regulators to consider small modular reactors should utilities want to build them. Senate Bill 271 was sponsored by Sen. Eric Koch (R., Bedford), chair of the Senate Utilities Committee, and Sen. Blake Doriot (R., Goshen). Supporters of the bill said that SMRs could replace retiring coal plants and would supplement renewables.
The Indy Star reported on January 24 that the utilities committee passed the bill by a vote of eight to two and that it now heads to the full Senate.

Two separate topics on a pellet injection activity at the multimirror trap GOL-3 are presented. The first topic is connected with studies of influence of a high-energy-density plasma on solids. A carbon pellet of 2-mm diameter was injected into the plasma for this purpose. The second discussed topic is a status of works on a cryogenic pellet injector for plasma fueling at GOL-3.
