NRC proposes security regulation changes
In 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14300, “‘Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” which directs the NRC to conduct a sweeping, multifaceted overhaul of its structure, culture, and regulations with the aim of facilitating increased deployment of new nuclear technologies and capacity.

Considerable interests have been focused on the study of turbulent fluctuations in magnetic confinement system, since various theories predict such turbulent fluctuations lead to anomalous transport and energy loss in the transverse direction. Density fluctuations during the formation of the confinement potential with application of electron cyclotron heating (ECH) in GAMMA 10 were studied by using both the multi-channel microwave interferometer and gold neutral beam probe. It is found that low frequency fluctuation, which corresponds to the diamagnetic drift, is suppressed during the formation of confining potential by the application of plug-ECH.
