DOE signs two more OTAs in Reactor Pilot Program
This week, the Department of Energy has finalized two new other transaction agreements (OTAs) with participating companies in its Reactor Pilot Program, which aims to get one or two fast-tracked reactors on line by July 4 of this year. Those companies are Terrestrial Energy and Oklo.

The usage of non-paraxial elements, like a “fat” mirror cell or a divertor, is one of the techniques for stabilizing plasma in axisymmetric systems. The plasma equilibrium in such elements is studied in the paper. The calculation based on the Grad-Shafranov type equation has been done for plasma equilibrium under isotropic and anisotropic pressures in the configuration with a divertor, produced with the given external currents. The inverse variable technique is used in the problem with the fixed boundary surface. This approach is used, in particular, for calculating an equilibrium in the rippled field.
