Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

NWMO to select Canadian repository site this year
Canada’s Nuclear Waste Management Organization, a not-for-profit organization responsible for the long-term management of the country’s intermediate- and high-level radioactive waste, is set to select a site for a deep geologic repository by the end of the year.

This paper presents a brief review of experimental results obtained on the Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT) device during the last few years. Special attention is paid to the problems of longitudinal plasma confinement and suppression of transverse transport caused by magnetohydrodynamic instabilities in mirror traps with an axisymmetric magnetic field configuration. We also consider problems of auxiliary electron cyclotron resonance heating in the GDT plasma. Electromagnetic fluctuations driven by anisotropic high pressure plasma in GDT will be discussed as well as influence of these fluctuations on plasma confinement.
