DOE fast tracks test reactor projects: What to know
The Department of Energy today named 10 companies that want to get a test reactor critical within the next year using the DOE’s offer to authorize test reactors outside of national laboratories. As first outlined in one of the four executive orders on nuclear energy released by President Trump on May 23 and in the request for applications for the Reactor Pilot Program released June 18, the companies must use their own money and sites—and DOE authorization—to get reactors operating. What they won’t need is a Nuclear Regulatory Commission license.

A set of diagnostics for plasma spectroscopy was developed for multimiror trap GOL-3. It includes survey spectrometer with spatial resolution and the high spectral resolution complex for line shape analysis. The systems allow recording waveforms of plasma radiation with spectral resolution of 0.01 nm and measure spatial distribution of line radiation intensity (simultaneously in π and σ components).
Analysis of radiation spectra was used for investigation of impurities structure and dynamics. Precise measurements of spectral line shape were used for finding the electron density and ion temperature from a line broadening. Description of the equipment and experimental technique as well the recent results are presented in the paper.
