General Atomics marks completion of ITER’s superconducting fusion magnet
General Atomics last week celebrated the completion of the central solenoid modules for the ITER reactor being built in southern France. Designed to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion power, the ITER tokamak will be the world’s largest experimental fusion facility.

New measurements of differential elastic scatter-ing cross sections of neutrons from nitrogen at six energies between 6.0 and 8.5 MeV yield nonelastic cross sections which are in essential agreement with the sum of the measured nonelastic partial cross sections. The new data give results systematically lower than those obtained from previous measurements, thereby removing the discrepancy in the nonelastic cross sections of nitrogen below 9 MeV.
