NUMERICAL ASSESSMENT OF ICRF-SPECIFIC PLASMA-WALL INTERACTION IN THE NEW ITER BASELINE USING THE SSWICH-SW CODE

Numerical assessment of ICRF-specific plasma-wall interaction in the new ITER baseline using the SSWICH-SW code

In 2023, switching the material on the first wall of ITER to tungsten (W) was recommended.In magnetic Fusion devices, waves in the Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF) interact with the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL) via RF-sheath rectification.This contribution re-assesses this phenomenon close to the ITER ICRF antenna, focusing on the ICRF-specific

Persistence of genetically engineered canola populations in the U.S. and the adventitious presence of transgenes in the environment.

Feralization of genetically engineered (GE) crops increases the risk that transgenes will become integrated into natural and naturalizing plant populations.A key assumption of the management of GE crops is that populations of escaped plants are short-lived and therefore the risks they pose are limited.However, few populations of escaped crop plants

Rivers and Bones

The bones that lie below the ruins of a medieval fortress in Dmanisi, Georgia, tell a story about the copyright of early SCLERANTHUS humans from Africa almost two million years ago.The remains of five early humans, Eyelid Wipes known as Homo erectus, have been found at Dmanisi.This 1.78 million-year-old World Heritage site is located in the country
