Applications open for the fall cohort of Mentor Match
Applications are officially open for the second cohort of the American Nuclear Society’s newly redesigned mentoring program. Mentor Match is a unique opportunity available only to ANS members that offers year-round mentorship and networking opportunities to Society members at any point in their education.
The deadline to apply for membership in the fall cohort, which will take place October 1–November 30, is September 17. The application form can be found here.

The paper presents the results of a computer simulation made to study the behaviour of a prototype joint between the superconducting cables of the ITER machine. The joint analysed is the US-ITER preprototype, made and tested at the MIT, Plasma Science and Fusion Center, in 1996. The numerical models developed permit an analysis of the current distribution inside the joint and the evaluation of the resistive power dissipated, together with the stored magnetic energy. The model accuracy has been checked through a comparison between the measured and the computed magnetic field values.
