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.

JAERI started a program of Demonstration Poloidal Coils (DPC) for superconducting pulse poloidal coils. In this program, two NbTi pulse coils, DPC-1 and DPC-2, and a Nb3Sn pulse coil, DPC-EX are being developed. These coils have the same diameter of 1.0 m and the charging condition is from zero to 7 T in 1 sec. Total stored energy of DPC-1 and DPC-2 will be 30 MJ. Regarding design requirements and conditions of DPC, design selections on the coil configuration, charging mode and insulation, cooling type, conductor, and so on were made as described in this paper.
