Comparative evaluation of solar, fission, fusion, and fossil energy resources, part 3 [PDF]
The role of nuclear fission reactors in becoming an important power source in the world is discussed. The supply of fissile nuclear fuel will be severely depleted by the year 2000. With breeder reactors the world supply of uranium could last thousands of

Far-infrared scattering on ELMO Bumpy Torus and impurity study experiments [PDF]
, 1985 A far-infrared (FIR) laser scattering diagnostic was installed the ELMO Bumpy Torus (EBT) experiment to measure density waves and fluctuations. The system was tested and calibrated using a TPX plastic Bragg acoustic cell and was shown to be fully ...

Electron Energy Confinement in ELMO Bumpy Torus (EBT)
, 1979 Using a calibrated, solid-state, soft x-ray detector, the electron temperature and density have been measured over a wide range of operating conditions of ELMO Bumpy Torus (EBT). The empirical relations of the temperature or the density to the microwave power and the ambient pressure have been determined.

EBTR design-point selection [PDF]
, 1981 The procedure used to select the design point for the ELMO Bumpy Torus Reactor (EBTR) study is described. The models used in each phase of the selection process are described, with an emphasis placed on the parametric design curves produced by each model.

Inherent magnetic field error measurements in ELMO Bumpy Torus
Review of Scientific Instruments, 1985 The inherent magnetic field error and its radial distribution in the closed field line device of ELMO Bumpy Torus (EBT) have been measured with an electron beam probe. It is found that the field error is almost radially uniform and is about ΔB≤4 G at an average field of B≂7.2 kG. This yields ΔB/B≂5×10−4, which is large enough to open the confined drift
