NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

The usage of non-paraxial elements, like a “fat” mirror cell or a divertor, is one of the techniques for stabilizing plasma in axisymmetric systems. The plasma equilibrium in such elements is studied in the paper. The calculation based on the Grad-Shafranov type equation has been done for plasma equilibrium under isotropic and anisotropic pressures in the configuration with a divertor, produced with the given external currents. The inverse variable technique is used in the problem with the fixed boundary surface. This approach is used, in particular, for calculating an equilibrium in the rippled field.
