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.

A TFTR Lower Hybrid Current Drive Project has been undertaken to scope out the design and the details of construction of a Lower Hybrid (LH) system to provide up to 4 megawatts of 4.6 GHz rf source power through a four-array coupler to TFTR. The main purpose of the this would be to provide TFTR with a current profile control system. The first phase of the project would consist of relocating the existing rf sources and associated equipment of the 2MW system from the PBX-M device as well as designing, fabricating and installing a vacuum vessel interface on TFTR and a new power splitter, coupler and waveguide would have to be implemented to interface with TFTR. Several novel features have been added to the system to adapt it to the requirements of the TFTR experiment. The second phase of the project would consist of installing additional 2 MW power sources from MIT and power supplies from LLNL.
