NEA irradiation system ready to deploy at MITR
A new irradiation experimental system is ready for deployment. The rig, which is the focus of In-Core Real-Time Mechanical Testing of Structural Materials (INCREASE-I), an OECD Nuclear Energy Agency project, will be used to conduct stress-relaxation tests of stainless steel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor (MITR), according to the OECD NEA.

In low density plasmas of CHS, it has been observed that co- direction of neutral beam injection strongly influences the characteristics of MHD mode. The fluctuation level is strongest in all operational regime of CHS plasmas. The effect of beam driven currents on this mode was investigated experimentally from a viewpoint of an interchange mode. The experimental results indicate that the characteristics of this mode strongly depend on the net toroidal current. It suggests that this mode is an ideal interchange mode because of the suppression of the fluctuation level due to the increase in magnetic shear.
