Disney World should have gone nuclear
There is extra significance to the American Nuclear Society holding its annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, this past week. That’s because in 1967, the state of Florida passed a law allowing Disney World to build a nuclear power plant.

Initial investigation on high enthalpy plasma stream generation in the North Carolina State University Coaxial Plasma Source[1] (CPS) facility is presented. Tenuous, yet high enthalpy, flows are produced from this Magnetized Coaxial plasma Gun (MCG) which allow laboratory study of plasma streams with a wide variety of applications. The applicability includes, but is not limited to, advanced thrusters for electric space propulsion, astrophysical jets and critical ionization phenomena, magnetic fusion compact toroid devices and tokamak fueling, large scale plasma etching and deposition, etc.
