Smarter waste strategies: Helping deliver on the promise of advanced nuclear
At COP28, held in Dubai in 2023, a clear consensus emerged: Nuclear energy must be a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. With electricity demand projected to soar as we decarbonize not just power but also industry, transport, and heat, the case for new nuclear is compelling. More than 20 countries committed to tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050. In the United States alone, the Department of Energy forecasts that the country’s current nuclear capacity could more than triple, adding 200 GW of new nuclear to the existing 95 GW by mid-century.

The presence of large magnetic interferences in the EBTP plasma makes the detection of normal zones in the superconductor extremely difficult. A technique has been developed to model these magnetic noises and coil components as mutual inductances. The computer program SPICE was then used to develop a proposed conceptual circuit for reliable protection of the EBT-P mirror coils in the 60 GHz mode that may later be upgraded to 90 GHz operations.
