Newly developed magnetized coaxial plasma guns (MCPG) where counter-helicity spheromak merging
generates a high-flux FRC have been investigated for use in FRC fueling and re-fluxing

MCPGs, also known as CTIs, can control the total trapped flux of the ejected spheromak by adjusting the initial stuffing field between the electrodes

The technique for injection an impurity ion-doped CT has been proposed. The TCCT is produced and accelerated by an MCPG with a tracer source injector.

We introduce a method of transmutation of spent radioactive nuclei in a liquid molten salt solution with fusion neutrons through a series of energy enhancements from accelerated deuterons via fusion to fission. This method is a part of the partitioning & transmutation (P&T) approach for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel where P&T enables the reduction of duration and volume of the spent nuclear fuel storage.

The experimental goals of the C-2W program are to demonstrate the ability to heat and maintain a field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma to a total temperature of several keV for a period of 30 ms.
