Bowen to lead new Office of Advanced Reactors
Jeremy Bowen will head the newly created Office of Advanced Reactors when it launches in September, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced Monday.
This new office will license and oversee new and advanced reactors. In his role, Bowen will be responsible for the review of advanced reactor applications—reviews that the NRC said will be “expeditious.”

Transmission system for the GAMMA 10 central-cell ECRH was newly constructed. This system was designed to maximize the calculated Poynting flux reaching the resonance surface. Performance test of main components of the transmission system was carried out with a low power source. The power transmission rates of the taper and the vacuum window were larger than 97 %. Microwave power as high as 88 % of that radiated from the open end of the corrugated waveguide was transmitted to the resonance surface with the designed mirror. This value agrees well with the value expected in our design.
