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.”

In the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror, neutral hydrogen densities in the central-cell and anchor-cell have been estimated by measuring spatial profiles of H line-emission with absolutely calibrated H line-emission detectors. Absolute measurements of H line-emission enable us to evaluate the neutral density based on the collisional-radiative model. Recently, single channel H line-emission detectors were installed in plug/barrier cells, where the axial confining potentials are produced by electron cyclotron resonance heating. We studied the neutral particle behavior in the plug/barrier cells for the first time using the newly installed H line-emission detectors. Moreover we have designed and installed a multi-channel H line-emission detector system to study the neutral hydrogen behavior in the plug/barrier cell.
