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.

Previous investigations of the pulse plasma Source with Crossed electrical and magnetic Fields (SCF) showed its availability as the source of plasma flow for Plasma Separation Process. The modified design of electrode system for the Stationary SCF is described. The results of numerical simulation of thermal conditions and deformation modes for the modified electrode system are presented.
