U.K. releases new plans to speed nuclear deployment
In an effort to revamp its nuclear sector and enable the buildout of new projects, the U.K. has unveiled a sweeping set of changes to project deployment. These changes, which are set to come into effect by the end of next year, will restructure the country’s regulatory and environmental approval framework and directly support new growth through various workforce efforts.

A summary of a recent design effort for a high wall loading, low power, compact tokamak reactor is presented. The design employs a bean-shaped plasma to reach the second stability regime, where high beta values are attainable. A point design was chosen based on a parameteric survey that was conducted using the Tokamak Systems Code (TSC). The most important parts of that survey are presented here. Investigation of different plasma confinement scaling laws shows that the chosen point design has a reasonable ignition margin.
