Abstract

This work explores power handling solutions for high-field, highly-radiative negative triangularity (NT) reactors based around the MANTA concept \cite{rutherford_manta_2024}. The divertor design is kept as simple as possible, opting for a standard divertor with standard leg length. FreeGS is used to create an equilibrium for the boundary region, prioritizing a short outer leg length of only $\sim$50 cm ($\sim$40\% of the minor radius). The UEDGE code package is used for the boundary plasma solution, to track plasma temperatures and fluxes to the divertor targets. It is found that for $P_\mathrm{SOL}$ = 25 MW and $n_\mathrm{sep} = 0.96 \times 10^{20}$ m$^{-3}$, conditions consistent with initial core transport modeling, little additional power mitigation is necessary. For external impurity injection of just 0.13\% Ne, the peak heat flux density at the more heavily loaded outer targets falls to 7.8 MW/m$^{2}$, while the electron temperature $T_\mathrm{e}$ remains just under 5 eV. Scans around the parameter space reveal that even at densities lower than in the primary operating scenario, $P_\mathrm{SOL}$ can be increased up to 50 MW, so long as a slightly higher fraction of extrinsic radiator is used. With less than 1\% neon (Ne) impurity content, the divertor still experiences less than 10 MW/m$^{2}$ at the outer target. Design of the plasma-facing components includes a close-fitting vacuum vessel with a tungsten inner surface as well as FLiBe-carrying cooling channels fashioned into the VV wall directly behind the divertor targets. For the seeded heat flux profile, Ansys Fluent heat transfer simulations estimate that the outer target temperature remains at just below 1550\degree C. Initial scoping of advanced divertor designs shows that for an X-divertor, detachment of the outer target becomes much simpler, and plasma fluxes to the targets drop considerably with only 0.01\% Ne content.

Abstract

The MANTA (Modular Adjustable Negative Triangularity ARC-class) design study investigated how negative-triangularity (NT) may be leveraged in a compact, fusion pilot plant (FPP) to take a ``power-handling first" approach. The result is a pulsed, radiative, ELM-free tokamak that satisfies and exceeds the FPP requirements described in the 2021 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report ``Bringing Fusion to the U.S. Grid". A self-consistent integrated modeling workflow predicts a fusion power of 450 MW and a plasma gain of 11.5 with only 23.5 MW of power to the scrape-off layer (SOL). This low $P_\text{SOL}$ together with impurity seeding and high density at the separatrix results in a peak heat flux of just 2.8 MW/m$^{2}$. MANTA's high aspect ratio provides space for a large central solenoid (CS), resulting in ${\sim}$15 minute inductive pulses. In spite of the high B fields on the CS and the other REBCO-based magnets, the electromagnetic stresses remain below structural and critical current density limits. Iterative optimization of neutron shielding and tritium breeding blanket yield tritium self-sufficiency with a breeding ratio of 1.15, a blanket power multiplication factor of 1.11, toroidal field coil lifetimes of $3100 \pm 400$ MW-yr, and poloidal field coil lifetimes of at least $890 \pm 40$ MW-yr. Following balance of plant modeling, MANTA is projected to generate 90 MW of net electricity at an electricity gain factor of ${\sim}2.4$. Systems-level economic analysis estimates an overnight cost of US\$3.4 billion, meeting the NASEM FPP requirement that this first-of-a-kind be less than US\$5 billion. The toroidal field coil cost and replacement time are the most critical upfront and lifetime cost drivers, respectively.

Abstract

The extended principle of superposition has been a touchstone of spin glass dynamics for almost thirty years. The Uppsala group has demonstrated its validity for the metallic spin glass, CuMn, for magnetic fields $H$ up to 10 Oe at the reduced temperature $T_\mathrm{r}=T/T_\mathrm{g} = 0.95$, where $T_\mathrm{g}$ is the spin glass condensation temperature. For $H > 10$ Oe, they observe a departure from linear response which they ascribe to the development of non-linear dynamics. The thrust of this paper is to develop a microscopic origin for this behavior by focusing on the time development of the spin glass correlation length, $\xi(t,t_\mathrm{w};H)$. Here, $t$ is the time after $H$ changes, and $t_\mathrm{w}$ is the time from the quench for $T>T_\mathrm{g}$ to the working temperature $T$ until $H$ changes. We connect the growth of $\xi(t,t_\mathrm{w};H)$ to the barrier heights $\Delta(t_\mathrm{w})$ that set the dynamics. The effect of $H$ on the magnitude of $\Delta(t_\mathrm{w})$ is responsible for affecting differently the two dynamical protocols associated with turning $H$ off (TRM, or thermoremanent magnetization) or on (ZFC, or zero field-cooled magnetization). In this paper, we display the difference between the zero-field cooled $\xi_{\text {ZFC}}(t,t_\mathrm{w};H)$ and the thermoremanent magnetization $\xi_{\text {TRM}}(t,t_\mathrm{w};H)$ correlation lengths as $H$ increases, both experimentally and through numerical simulations, corresponding to the violation of the extended principle of superposition in line with the finding of the Uppsala Group., Comment: 23 pages and 18 figures

15. Champions: District Leaders Build Skills to Boost Educator Practice

Author

Psencik, Kay, Brown, Frederick, Cain, Laura, Coleman, Ramona, and Cummings, C. Todd

Abstract

Fort Wayne Community Schools continue to increase student learning and meet state and national standards and expectations annually based on several factors that have made a difference for educators within the system: district and principal leadership, learning teams, effective learning designs, and deep commitment to a culture of learning. Fort Wayne understands that the superintendent's leadership matters. Superintendent Wendy Robinson and the district's board of trustees committed themselves to creating a learning culture within the district. Robinson developed a clear picture for herself of the superintendent's responsibilities, built on her deep history in the district as a teacher, principal, and district level administrator. Robinson's commitment to being the lead learner is evidenced by her deepening of her own understanding and skills needed to lead standards-driven professional learning. Robinson sought out leaders in professional learning to partner in this work and, in conjunction with Learning Forward, began to develop a deeper understanding of professional learning and ways of ensuring that every teacher in the district experiences effective professional learning every day so that every student achieves.

30. Project Management in a Local School District.

Author

Cummings, C. Peter

Abstract

This paper embodies three presentations given at a panel discussion on organizing, planning, and managing the local school district. The first presentation on comprehensive planning for change draws a distinction between "a priori" and "a posteriori" planning and relates these two types of planning in coping with school district problems. The next presentation deals with the critical factors required to implement project management capability in a school district, and examines the advantages and limitations of project management and the uses of project management in a public relations function. The final presentation emphasizes the kinds of information needed to support organizational modification in a local school district. One important consideration is the premise that major change in school districts must be supported by an organizational structure that facilitates the communication flows and the human interactions necessary to implement change.

Abstract

This module is the second in a self-instructional program designed to train public school personnel in how to manage educational projects. The purpose of this module is to provide current or potential project directors with the basic knowledge, skills, abilities, and sensitivities needed to manage a local educational project. In the areas of planning, the module explains how to define a project, develop a work flow plan and a schedule, and estimate needed resources and their costs. It then discusses the preparation phase, including how to initiate a project, organize it, and create a project information system. (A condensed demonstration version of lessons on the preparation phase is also part of this self-instructional program.) The module then explains the components of controlling a project, including developing a reporting system, identifying problems and their causes, solving problems through decision-making, and implementing these decisions. The module also discusses terminating a project. A lengthy case simulation section provides an opportunity for synthesis of knowledge and skills by simulating many of the decisions a project manager must make. Although the module is designed for use with a slide and tape presentation, it may be used alone. (Author/JM)

Abstract

This module is the first in a self-instructional program designed to train public school personnel in how to manage educational projects. These may include federally funded projects (such as Title I projects), court-ordered programs (such as a desegregation plan), or locally initiated projects (such as a new math program). The purpose of this module is to provide an orientation to project management for top-level administrators in local education agencies. In the first lesson, the characteristics of a project and of project management are explained, examples of project management are cited, and the advantages and limitations of project management in local education agencies are discussed. The second lesson presents the organizational placement of projects in local education agencies, the requirements for incorporating project management capability in local education agencies, and an outline plan for installing project management capability. In the third lesson, the guidance necessary in planning a project is identified, possible assistance required during project operations is cited, and potential sources of functional conflict are discussed. Additional information and assistance on project management are provided in the fourth lesson. Although the module is designed for use with a slide and tape presentation, it may be used alone.
