Bipartisan bill aims to promote nuclear fusion development
Curtis
Cantwell
Sens. Maria Cantwell (D., Wash.) and John Curtis (R., Utah) have introduced a bill that would enable nuclear fusion energy technologies to have access to the federal advanced manufacturing production tax credit.
The companion version of the bill was introduced in the House by Reps. Carol Miller (R., W.Va.), Suzan DelBene (D., Wash.), Claudia Tenney (R., N.Y.), and Don Beyer (D., Va.)
The Fusion Advanced Manufacturing Parity Act extends the federal advanced manufacturing production credit (45X) by adding a 25 percent tax credit for companies that are domestically manufacturing fusion energy components.

The problem of numerically solving of time-harmonic Maxwell's equations in plasma is addressed. The boundary problems for two representations of them: in terms of electric field and in terms of potentials are discussed.The reason for that the discretized Maxwell's equations in terms of electric field could be numerically unstable is explained. The measures to avoid the instabilities are briefly addressed.The problems arising from the stiffness of Maxwell's equations in plasma are analyzed. In this respect an advantage of recently proposed weighted residuals scheme with uniform trial functions before standard numerically stable Galerkin scheme is emphasizedAmong methods of solving the system of linear algebraic equations that is the result of discretization the particular attention is paid to usage of modern iterative schemes.A tree-dimensional numerical model based on iterative approach for magnetized plasma is presented.
