NRC proposes security regulation changes
In 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14300, “‘Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” which directs the NRC to conduct a sweeping, multifaceted overhaul of its structure, culture, and regulations with the aim of facilitating increased deployment of new nuclear technologies and capacity.

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.
