Plasma physics, mostly via kinetic simulations on supercomputers.

I occasionally (but not actually every day) post a "Paper of the Day" #potd that may or may not be related to my work.

The way this is being reported is extremely irresponsible.

There is a hole in the containment structure, about 10 feet across. No other damage is reported. That hole can allow some of the dusty radioactive material to escape.

That is what "can no longer do its job of containment" means.

As far as I can see, this nat sec strategy is far harsher on Europe than on Russia. There is no mention of a threat from Russia or of deterrence, only that "re-establishing strategic stability" is a priority. Europe is cast as a major threat to freedom. A radical, dangerous document.
