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.

Influence of the magnetic field, which is produced around the JT-60 tokamak, on the performance of the neutral beam injector was experimentally studied using the stray field simulating coils installed around the prototype injector unit. Temperature distributions on the ion dump shifted vertically and the peak values changed in the presence of the field, as expected from the calculation of ion orbits. The shift length and the peak values remained within the permissible level, however, because of the operation of two cancellation coils, one of which was set around the reflecting magnet and another around the neutralizer magnetic shield. The neutral power injected into the beam target decreased by 4 to 5 % during application of the stray field due to the reionization loss of neutral particles. Under operating conditions, the heat load on each component was below the design value and all the components worked without any problems in the presence of stray magnetic field.
