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 …

The Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) is a highly diamagnetic plasma confinement device used in nuclear fusion research. FRC’s exhibit an internal region of weak magnetic field with ideal conditions to reach the high temperature required to burn high Z aneutronic fuels …

A silicon drift-detector-based pulse-height x-ray energy spectrometer has been recently deployed on C-2W to investigate the distribution of suprathermal electrons. Measurements from this spectrometer reveal x-ray photons with energies of several kiloelectronvolts …
