Gov. Sherrill signs bill to begin nuclear procurement in N.J.
On July 13, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed the Power NJ Act, a bill that directs the state’s Board of Public Utilities (BPU), in collaboration with the state’s Economic Development Authority, to establish an “advanced nuclear energy procurement program.”

The high ion-temperature (> 10 keV) plasma has been performed in ion-cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating experiments on the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. In such a high performance plasma, low frequency density fluctuations are observed in relation to the applied ICRF powers. A drift-type fluctuation, that is excited when high power ICRFs for the plasma production are applied, is observed in the whole of GAMMA 10 with the finite wave length. The amplitude of the drift-type fluctuation depends strongly on the gas puffing rate, the ICRF antenna configuration and so on. The radial transport of high energy ions due to these fluctuations is studied.
