US scientists find way to prevent runaway electron damage in fusion reactors
SMRTR summary
Scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have simulated a potential solution to prevent runaway electron damage in fusion reactors using the Summit supercomputer. The simulations showed that Alfvén waves can scatter runaway electrons, potentially leading to new methods for controlling these damaging particles in reactors like ITER in France.
