This division (formerly known as the Fusion Division) is concerned with gas fueling and pumping of large vacuum vessels; design and construction of such vessels, radioactive gas storage, recovery, and handling; pressure measurement, leak testing and repair of plasma devices and fusion reactors including particle beam injection; plasma wall interactions; plasma diagnostics (magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF); vacuum materials development; coatings, claddings, ceramics and alloys; ICF microtarget development, and neutral and negative ion beam injector technology. Also of concern are interaction of plasmas with and characterization of plasmas near surfaces.
