From Capitol Hill: Nuclear is back, critical for America’s energy future
The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy convened its first hearing of the year, “American Energy Dominance: Dawn of the New Nuclear Era,” on January 7, where lawmakers and industry leaders discussed how nuclear energy can help meet surging electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, advanced manufacturing, and national security needs.

The plasma performance with sawtoothing is assessed for two tokamak reactor experiments, the proposed Tokamak Fusion Core Experiment (TFCX) and the Joint European Torus (JET). TFCX is ignitable with sawtoothing and impurities assuming neo-Alcator plus Gorbunov-Mirnov-Strelkov scalingsfor plasma confinement. JET is also ignitable at optimistically high currents (≥ 7 MA).
