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.

The possibility to minimize in principle the weight overall and output characteristics of D-3He fueled Fusion Reactor (FR) on the base of plasma Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) is analyzed. It is shown, that with the optimistic outlook on an FRC plasma confinement improvement prospects, the FR specific mass of about 5 kg/kW at electric power of Pe≌300 MW can be achieved.
