(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Recent advances in high temperature superconductors (HTS) have opened up a new parameter space for the design of tokamak fusion pilot plants. While previously the maximum on-axis field in a superconducting tokamak was ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Using high-z wall materials switches the fusion challenge from heat load handling to removing impurities. I propose the first method of measuring the radial impurity flux from currently available diagnostics. It provides ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)In this thesis, a comprehensive study of Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal (BGK) mode electron holes in a collisionless plasma where strong kinetic effects are important is presented. Kinematic theory based on momentum conservation ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)A central goal in computational nuclear engineering is the high-fidelity simulation of a full nuclear reactor core by way of a general simulation method. General full core simulations can potentially reduce design and ...
