Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

The prospect of a new facility for plasma-surface interaction studies is presented. The unique features of this facility named GDMT-T are ability to generate both stationary plasma flux and transient events which simulate ITER ELM-mode operation and strong magnetic field on the target important for studies of dust and impurity migration. The experimental program of GDMT-T will include testing of plasma-facing components at ITER-relevant conditions and investigations of electron beam generation and beam-plasma interaction for application in the next generation of linear fusion facilities.
