ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

The measurements of the radial profile of β for two-component plasma were performed on the gas-dynamic trap using the MSE diagnostic. The maximal value of magnetic field perturbation (ΔB/B) was 0.2 allowing to estimate the β as 40%. The profile radius was ≈7 cm, which is only slightly greater than the fast ion gyroradius mapped onto the GDT midplane. The possible mechanisms of a steep plasma pressure profile is under consideration.
