TL;DR: In this paper, the first self-consistent multi-fluid simulations of chromospheric magnetic reconnection in a weakly ionized reacting plasma were presented, showing that magnetic reconnections in the chromosphere could be responsible for jet-like transient phenomena.

TL;DR: Menard et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a blanket system capable of tritium breeding ratio TBR ≈ 1, a poloidal field coil set supporting high elongation and triangularity for a range of internal inductance and normalized beta values consistent with NSTX/NSTX-U previous/planned operation, and a long-legged divertor analogous to the MAST-U divertor which substantially reduces projected peak divertor heat-flux and has all outboard field coils outside the vacuum chamber and superconducting to reduce power consumption.

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized, computationally tractable fluid model for capturing the effects of neutral particles in plasmas is derived and moments of the Boltzmann equations for electron, ion, and neutral species are combined to yield a two-component plasma-neutral fluid model.

TL;DR: In this article, the first self-consistent multi-fluid simulations of chromospheric magnetic reconnection in a weakly ionized reacting plasma were presented, showing that magnetic reconnections in the chromosphere could be responsible for jet-like transient phenomena such as spicules and chromosphere jets.

TL;DR: The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX-U) as mentioned in this paper has been used to test physics theories for next-step tokamak operation, including ITER.
