Researchers use one-of-a-kind expertise and capabilities to test fuels of tomorrow
At the Idaho National Laboratory Hot Fuel Examination Facility, containment box operator Jake Maupin moves a manipulator arm into position around a pencil-thin nuclear fuel rod. He is preparing for a procedure that he and his colleagues have practiced repeatedly in anticipation of this moment in the hot cell.

Calculations of temperature profiles of deuterium-fueled tokamaks using the standard point models for synchrotron radiation and a full transport model are compared. It is shown that transport of radiation has a significant effect on the profile, and that the temperature profile sensitivity to the radiation transport loss is comparable to the sensitivity to thermal conduction.
