Department of Energy Under Secretary for Science and Genesis Mission lead Darío Gil participated in a session at the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference on March 17 that coincided with the announcement of the DOE’s $293 million Genesis Mission request for applications, which invites interdisciplinary teams to submit ideas for projects addressing over 20 of Genesis’s stated national challenges, several of which focus on accelerating nuclear research and nuclear energy output.
“We seek breakthrough ideas and novel collaborations leveraging the scientific prowess of our national laboratories, the private sector, universities, and science philanthropies,” said Gil.

Pellet injection with a bent drift tube is considered as one of the flexible methods to have a variety of fueling locations and injection angles in fusion plasma. Since both pellet mass and velocity greatly affect the plasma properties, mass loss and velocity attenuation of the pellet in the drift tube should be evaluated properly. We focused on the impact of the pellet on the tube wall and numerically estimated the mass loss and the velocity attenuation.
