NRC proposes security regulation changes
In 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14300, “‘Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” which directs the NRC to conduct a sweeping, multifaceted overhaul of its structure, culture, and regulations with the aim of facilitating increased deployment of new nuclear technologies and capacity.

In the tandem mirror GAMMA 10, a 500 kW gyrotron was newly equipped in the central-cell ECRH system, following the plug ECRH systems. Then, the transmission system for the central-cell ECRH, including a taper, mirrors and a polarizer, has been designed correspondingly. The guidelines to design the transmission system are to make the beam cross section axisymmetrical on the resonance surface with a high power transmission rate and high heating efficiency. According to the guidelines, mirrors in the launcher systems have been designed with our electromagnetic code. Controlling polarization of the incident microwave is achieved with a polarizer for raising heating efficiency.
