Webinar: MC&A and safety in advanced reactors in focus
Towell

Prasad
The American Nuclear Society’s Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division recently hosted a webinar on updating material control and accounting (MC&A) and security regulations for the evolving field of advanced reactors.
Moderator Shikha Prasad (CEO, Srijan LLC) was joined by two presenters, John Russell and Lester Towell, who looked at how regulations that were historically developed for traditional light water reactors will apply to the next generation of nuclear technology and what changes need to be made.

ECRH antenna system for central cell of GAMMA 10 was newly installed. This system was designed to improve the calculated Poynting flux reaching the resonance surface and the beam path. The power transmission efficiency has been improved from about 60 to 70 % and the beam passes the center of the resonance surface. Performance test of this system was carried out with low power and we got the performance that we expected. This system was installed to GAMMA 10 and the initial electron heating result with it has been obtained.
