New X-ray imaging for ITER-supporting tokamaks
As researchers continue to seek ways to better understand the plasma inside fusion machines to fully harness fusion energy, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory is leading a project to provide new X-ray imaging systems to two international tokamak projects: WEST, in southern France, and JT-60SA, in Japan—both of which are designed to support the development of ITER.

Spectra of backscattered radiation from finite thick slabs of iron were measured by means of a scintillation spectometer. A point Co60 gamma source was placed in close contact with a scattering slab. Variation of number and energy albedo values with increasing the slab thickness are given as experimental formulas and graphical representations.
