OECD NEA meeting focuses on irradiation experiments
Members of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s Second Framework for Irradiation Experiments (FIDES-II) joint undertaking gathered from September 29 to October 3 in Ketchum, Idaho, for the technical advisory group and governing board meetings hosted by Idaho National Laboratory. The FIDES-II Framework aims to ensure and foster competences in experimental nuclear fuel and structural materials in-reactor experiments through a diverse set of Joint Experimental Programs (JEEPs).

Phaedrus-T is a moderate sized tokamak with low toroidal field and substantial radio frequency power capabilities. This machine has only recently become operational and full RF power is expected in the next year. The initial studies include edge modifications due to variable phased antenna structures and RF helicity current drive experiments. Spheromak particle refueling tests will be started in the Fall of 1991. The tokamak is also being used as a test site for diagnostic development.
