Graduate students at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility have built a large language model (LLM) from the entire archive of experiment journal notes. The resulting interface provides remarkably good answers to questions about how to improve fusion performance in experiments.
Passive Coil To Mitigate Relativistic Electrons In Tokamaks
In many ways, a fusion reactor is passively safe; most off-normal events within such a device produce a naturally occurring behavior that leads to the calm shutdown of the fusion reaction without operator intervention. One outlier off-normal event is the formation of a relativistic electron beam, which is a very high-energy electron beam capable of […]
