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.

Effects of ion and electron bounce motions on ICRF (Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequency) heating mechanism in simple mirror discharge are investigated theoretically. As a preliminary study, we consider a one-dimensional model in which propagating R (Right-handed circularly polarized) and L (Left-handed circularly polarized) waves interact with mirror-trapped ions and electrons. The results show that ion bounce resonance effect with L-wave can occur under the condition that ωci < ω.
