Task force charts growing interest in civilian maritime nuclear applications
Readers of Nuclear News will have heard of historical applications of civilian maritime nuclear power, like the merchant ship NS Savannah and the USS Sturgis floating power plant. With a few exceptions there has been little action in this area for over 50 years, and there are plenty of reasons and opinions as to why, but over the last few years the dramatic increase in interest from the maritime industry and its stakeholders has been undeniable.

The power supplies for the neutral beam injection and radio-frequency heating systems in the Joint European Torus (JET) are described. The characteristics of the main power supplies are presented. Since JET will become active at a later stage, no components requiring regular maintenance could be installed in the Torus Hall or basement. Therefore, it was necessary to construct a special transmission line and isolation vessel (SF6 tower). Typical power supply pulses are described.
