4. Reasonableness and

appropriateness of the proposed budget.

The Office of Fusion Energy Sciences

shall consider, as part of the evaluation,

other available advice or information as

well as program policy factors such as

ensuring an appropriate balance among

the program areas, ensuring support for

computational teams, ensuring support

for experiments, and quality of previous

performance. Selection of applications/

proposals for award will be based upon

the findings of the technical

evaluations, the importance and

relevance of the proposed research to

the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences’

mission, and funding availability.

Program Specific Supplementary

Information

Magnetohydrodynamics and Stability

Grant applications are solicited for

new research or continuation of past

efforts in MHD theory in support of

Fusion community work in

magnetically confined plasmas. Current

work includes advanced tokamak (AT),

innovative confinement concepts (ICC),

burning plasma physics and steady state

high beta plasma issues. Both analytical

and computational approaches will be

considered. Additional work is

particularly needed in the areas of

nonlinear MHD, neoclassical tearing

modes, extended MHD, including flows

and various non-ideal MHD effects, and

resistive wall modes. Work in support of

the major computational initiative that

involves the development of large-scale

codes to explore non-linear MHD will

also be considered.

Confinement and Transport

Applications will be considered in the

area of confinement and transport in

plasmas. Both analytical and

computational work is of interest. The

general area covers plasma turbulence,

energy, particle, momentum and

radiation transport in the core of the

plasma. The work of interest includes

work in support of tokamak as well as

non-tokamak innovative concepts.

Topics of interest include among others,

electromagnetic effects on turbulence,

shear flow generation and its impacts on

transport, and understanding of the role

of collisions in turbulent plasmas. Work

in support of the major computational

initiative that involves the development

of large-scale codes to explore

turbulence will also be considered.

Edge and Divertor Physics

Applications will be considered in the

area of edge physics theory. Both

analytical and numerical models are of

interest. The general area covers plasma

turbulence, energy, particle and

radiation transport in the edge of the

plasma and in the neighborhood of the

separatrix. The work of interest includes

neutrals transport in divertors and

plasma edge region, atomic physics

processes affecting temperature,

radiation and flame front propagation in

divertors. Techniques and algorithms

for modeling fast particles in the edge

region as well as adaptive grid methods

and their application to modeling of

plasma turbulence and transport in the

edge region will be reviewed.

Plasma Heating and Non-Inductive

Current Drive

Applications will be considered in the

area of RF physics in plasmas. This

includes RF propagation, heating and

current drive. Of interest are both

analytical and numerical treatments of

interaction of plasmas with radio

frequency waves. These include

electron cyclotron, ion cyclotron, lower

hybrid and Bernstein waves. Topics of

interest include, among others, physical

processes involved in conversion layers,

power deposition for temperature

profile control and interaction of waves

of different frequencies to produce

specific effects on the plasma.

Applications for modeling radio

frequency launchers and their coupling

to the edge plasma will also be

considered.

Innovative Confinement Concepts

Grant applications are desired for

theoretical and computational research

on innovative confinement concepts

that have the possibility of leading to

improved magnetic fusion systems. In

1996, the U.S. fusion program began

supporting a broadening array of

innovative confinement concepts (ICC).

Increased theoretical and computational

research is needed to make optimal use

of these experiments as they come into

operation and to support further

development of these concepts.

Additional work is needed particularly

on macroscopic stability and

turbulence/transport in innovative

confinement concepts.

Atomic and Molecular Processes in

Plasmas

Grant applications will be considered

for theoretical research relevant to the

description of atomic processes in

plasmas. In addition to overall scientific

merit, emphasis will be given to work

that promises to aid the understanding

of the basic atomic processes that are

important for modeling of magnetically

confined plasmas and high-density

plasmas found in inertial confinement

fusion experiments. The program has

found that understanding electron-atom

and electron-ion collisions and the

radiation emitted by atoms and ions to

be of importance for the modeling of

plasma behavior in experiments. Some

current areas where atomic processes

are considered to be important include

the effects of transport, the effects of

impurities and the understanding of

diagnostics.

Second Revised Sheet No. 308. Also, the

tariff sheet did not list GISB standards

4.3.2 and 4.3.3 for which an extension

was granted. As required by the

Commission, Equitrans hereby files the

enclosed tariff sheet in compliance with

the May 8 Order, to correct the tariff

pagination and incorporate the omitted

GISB standards.
