Overview of NORM (C-2W) Fusion Device –
NORM uses Neutral Beams and End-Biasing Systems to form and sustain either Mirror Plasmas or Field-Reversed
Configurations (FRCs) – see Roche et al., Nature Comm, 16, 3487 (2025) for NBI formed FRC report.

We report evidence of successful generation of field-reversed configuration plasmas by neutral beam injection. This is achieved by trapping the steady-state beams in an initial seed plasma, hence providing a direct source of toroidally directed energetic ion current …

It is shown that transonic plasma acceleration in the converging–diverging magnetic field (magnetic nozzle) follows the unique global solution which is fully defined by the magnetic field.
