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.

The 1/ neoclassical transport (effective ripple) is calculated for the l = 3 Uragan-3M torsatron in the presence of magnetic islands caused by a small eccentricity in the vertical field coils. The technique used for the calculations is based on integration along magnetic field lines in a given stellarator magnetic field. For comparison, calculations are also performed for the case of negligible eccentricity.
