Standard Nuclear executes OTA with DOE
Reactor-agnostic TRISO fuel producer Standard Nuclear recently announced that it has executed an other transaction agreement (OTA) with the Department of Energy. As one of the five companies involved in the DOE’s Fuel Line Pilot Program, its entrance into this deal marks a milestone in the public-private effort to bring advanced fuel production on line in support of the DOE’s concurrently running Reactor Pilot Program.

Experiments on fast plasma heating by the relativistic electron beam in the GOL-3 facility succeeds in the creation of a 1015 cm−3 plasma with electron temperature of up to a few keV. The heating is produced due to two-stream instability of the beam that causes high level of plasma microturbulence. The experiments show some specific features of plasma behaviour during the beam injection. The beam-induced turbulence is the reason of non-classical transport processes in the plasma. Anomalies in longitudinal thermal conductivity, resistivity of the plasma and in lifetime of hot electrons are observed. Transition to classical transport coefficients occurs when the plasma turbulence disappears after the beam injection stops.
