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 electron density and temperature profiles were measured in the central cell of Hanbit magnetic mirror device. The measured data were obtained during radio frequency (RF) discharges with frequencies of 3.5 and 3.75 MHz, and the RF heating power up to 200 kW under various experimental conditions. The radial electron density and temperature profiles were directly measured by a fast injection probe (FIP), and the axial and azimuthal ion saturation currents were measured from fixed array probes. The line integrated electron density was measured from a single channel interferometer and used as a reference signal for the FIP. The electron temperature measurements were carried out different diagnostic methods and compared with each other.
