ARPA-E announces $40 million to develop transmutation technologies for UNF
The Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) announced $40 million in funding to develop cutting-edge technologies to enable the transmutation of used nuclear fuel into less-radioactive substances. According to ARPA-E, the new initiative addresses one of the agency’s core goals as outlined by Congress: to provide transformative solutions to improve the management, cleanup, and disposal of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel.

Magnetic activity of plasma during the injection of 2-8 MW non-relativistic electron beam of sub-millisecond duration in GOL-3 is studied.The main parameters of fluctuations of the magnetic field are discussed. In most experiments the m = 1 azimuthal mode has the largest value, although, higher modes stay significant. Amplitude of the largest perturbations is ~1/2 of the beam radius. The phase grows monotonically, rotational velocity agrees well with the expected E×B drift.Longitudinal velocity of the fluctuations was also measured, its value v ~ 107 cm/s is close to the ion sound speed for Te ~ 100 eV.
