The newest era of workforce development at ANS
As most attendees of this year’s ANS Annual Conference left breakfast in the Grand Ballroom of the Chicago Downtown Marriott to sit in on presentations covering everything from career pathways in fusion to recently digitized archival nuclear films, 40 of them made their way to the hotel’s fifth floor to take part in the second offering of Nuclear 101, a newly designed certification course that seeks to give professionals who are in or adjacent to the industry an in-depth understanding of the essentials of nuclear energy and engineering from some of the field’s leading experts.

Design studies on the superconducting helical coil of Heliotron G reactor are reported. Neither demountable nor modular helical coil system was adopted. The continuous helical coil with the cryostat is constructed in a body with a plasma vacuum vessel. Three design examples will be described. For pool boiling and forced flow cooled types, single-layered coil is proposed so as to ensure the reliability of the insulation and of the helical winding. Large current conductors are designed. For superfluid bath cooled type, a conductor available in the present stage is used and multi-layered coil is designed.
