A review is given of the 2X project, including project history and recent results, with the intent that both those new to CTR engineering and those people familiar with its progress will benefit. The current 2XII Program plan is reviewed, with emphasis on the major device fabrication underway at the present time. This construction consists primarily of a new magnet for 2XII, and has been designated 2XIIB. The injection of a 800-A neutral beam is described. The final portion of the paper is a progress report and a summary of cost estimates and scheduling. (auth)

From fifth sympoaium on engineering problems of fusion research; Princeton, New Jersey, USA (6 Nov 1973). A review is given of the 2X project, including project history and recent results, with the irtent that both those new to controlled thermonuclear research engineering and those people familiar with its progress will benefit. The current 2XII program plan is reviewed, with emphasis on the major device fubrication underway at the present time. This construction consiats primarily of a new magnet for 2XII, and has been designated 2XIIB. The injection of a 600A neutral beam is described. The ftnal portion of the paper is a progress report and a summary of cost estimates and scheduling. (MOW)

The design of the 2XII-B pulse coil system is presented. Development of the coil geometry is given as well as the results of magnetic field calculations. A discussion of the forces developed by this high-energy coil set and the electrical stress on the magnet insulation is presented. The results of materials selection for both the coil insulation and structure are included, and also a description of the fabrication procedure. (auth)

Both mirror machines at LLL, Baseball II and 2XII, require neutral-beam injection of hydrogen or deuteriurm into the plasma. The neutral-beam injector components and their function in the injector system are outlined. Some of the problems with the ion sources, neutralizers, magnetic shielding, beam burial, and vacuum pumping are discussed. (auth)

A vacuum pumping system that provides a cryo surface for condensing and freezing of H/sub 2/ gas is described. A closed-loop vacuum system was designed and built at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory to pump down the neutralizer LH/sub e/ dewar with a volurae of 350 l and the lambda point dewar with a LH/sub e/ volume of 250 l. Both of these dewars can be pumped down simultaneously or one at a time. 100% of the H/sub e/ gas is recovered free of contaminations. The vacuum pump can handle 340 SCFM of gas. The LH/sub e/ dewars are pumped down below the lambda point. This condition reduces the LH/sub e/ container wall temperature to 2.1 deg K giving a base pressure of 10/sup -13/ torr for H/sub 2/ gas/sup 2/. To attain a stable condition the LH /sub e/ baths are puuped down to 33 torr or lower to give a surface temperatare of about 2/sup 0/K/sup 3/. The Baseball II helium factlity is a close loop system. The H/sub e/ gas is recovered from all the LH/sub e/ usage point. This gas is accumulated in one of the two 8000 cu ft inflatable gas bags. The gas from the gas …

This report summarizes the major legislation focusing on the problems and status of women that were considered by the 93rd Congress.

This report documents the legislation removing existing benefits, social security payments, and offers women more educational opportunities. There are also other pending bills presented before Congress.

Recent efforts in controlled fusion experiments have indicated the need for large neutral-beam sources to provide an initial plasma for further plasma buildup, for use as a stoking source to makeup losses, or for plasma heating. Experiments now operating or envisioned for the near future anticipate the need for kilo-amp neutral beams in the 20-keV energy range and higher. These sources will be required to focus into relatively small-volume targets, have good gas efficiency, and use a minimum of excess gas for downstream neutralization. A test facility with sufficient pumping capacity to handle sources of this size is described. The ion source, mockup extraction grid, and the requisite electronic and power equipment for a 200-amp neutral-deuterium beam are discussed. The beam pulse length will be from 2 to 10 msec. (auth)

S>The effect of a 0th harmonic octupole (that is, constant in dependence on azimuth) on stable betatron oscillations is treated in smooth approximation. In this approximation, an exact invariant is obtained. Bounded motion results, except when the octupole component is very large. A condition for stability- is obtained and, in the case of bounded motion, an expression for the amplitude variation is given. Some comments are made regarding the method of phase averaging. (auth)
