ANS continues to expand its certificate offerings
It’s almost been a full year since the American Nuclear Society held its inaugural section of Nuclear 101, a comprehensive certificate course on the basics of the nuclear field. Offered at the 2024 ANS Winter Conference and Expo, that first sold-out course marked a massive milestone in the Society’s expanding work in professional development and certification.

Wall recycling and results of ICRH discharge in the HANBIT mirror device are presented. The amount of gas loading due to recycling from the wall and recycling coefficient are estimated quantitatively by the time evolution of the pressures in each region of the HANBIT mirror device during plasma discharges. These measured pressures are compared with a model calculation made in terms of a coupled set of rate equations. Also we introduce a gas recycling model based on atomic and molecular processes. In this model, enhancement of fueling due to the recycling is evaluated on the basis of the calculated probabilities of neutral and ion production by using the rate coefficients of these reactions.
