DTRA’s advancements in nuclear and radiological detection
A new, more complex nuclear age has begun. Echoing the tensions of the Cold War amid rapidly evolving nuclear and radiological threats, preparedness in the modern age is a contest of scientific innovation. The Research and Development Directorate (RD) at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is charged with winning this contest.

On the installations AMBAL-M and MAL in turbulent plasma column the longitudinal current of some kiloampers was measured. The fluctuation spectrum of magnetic field was measured by azimuthal magnetic probes and expansion of plasma current by spatial modes was carried out.
According to the experimental data the amplitudes of currents In, sizes Rn and shifts from axis of simmetry ΔRn for 3rd (40kHz) and 5th (72kHz) basic modes were calculated.
