New X-ray imaging for ITER-supporting tokamaks
As researchers continue to seek ways to better understand the plasma inside fusion machines to fully harness fusion energy, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory is leading a project to provide new X-ray imaging systems to two international tokamak projects: WEST, in southern France, and JT-60SA, in Japan—both of which are designed to support the development of ITER.

Yields of nitrogen and hydrogen from several Water Boiler uranyl nitrate solutions were measured in the presence of excess oxygen gas. Nitrogen yield increased with increased uranyl nitrate concentration, but hydrogen yield decreased. The hydrogen yields agreed with those obtained by different techniques at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The nitrogen yield for a uranyl nitrate solution 1.0 M in nitrate is 0.004 molecule N2 per 100 ev.
