Playing the “bad guy” to enhance next-generation safety
Sometimes, cops and robbers is more than just a kid’s game. At the Department of Energy’s national laboratories, researchers are channeling their inner saboteurs to discover vulnerabilities in next-generation nuclear reactors, making sure that they’re as safe as possible before they’re even constructed.

A one-dimensional simulation code has been developed for theoretical investigation on radial transport in the Hanbit-device discharges. The radial transport equations of ions, electrons, and neutrals are solved under given power density profile. It is found that the plasma density profile is strongly dependent on the absorbed power density profile of electrons and the temperature profiles are closely related to the neutral density profile.
