The Properties of Selected Spinodally Strengthened Copper Alloys Following High-Temperature Neutron Irradiation
TL;DR: In this paper, three spinodally strengthened copper alloys were irradiated with fast neutrons to 34 displacements per atoms (dpa) at 414{degrees} C, 50 dpa at 411{degree] C, and 32 dPA at 529{degree} C in order to assess their suitability for high-temperature service in neutron environments.

A parametric system study for the selection of RFP fusion reactor design point
TL;DR: Based on simple physics, engineering, and economic models among various design parameters of reversed-field pinch (RFP) fusion reactors, a parametric system study program has been developed giving cost of electricity (COE) for a given set of design parameters or a set of parameters giving the minimum COE as mentioned in this paper.

Relaxation of toroidal plasma and generation of reverse magnetic fields
TL;DR: In this article, the spontaneous generation of reversed fields in toroidal plasmas is shown to be a consequence of relaxation under constraints, and the onset of the reversed field and other features of this model agree well with observations on ZETA.

Hydromagnetic stability of a diffuse linear pinch
TL;DR: In this article, the hydromagnetic energy principle is applied to the derivation of necessary and sufficient conditions for a linear pinch with distributed plasma current (a diffuse linear pinch), where the axial and azimuthal components of the magnetic field, which determine the structure of the pinch completely, are treated as arbitrary functions of distance from the axis.
