General Atomics

General Atomics supplies circular corrugated waveguides with inside diameters from 31.75 mm (1.25") to 88.9 mm (3.5") in lengths up to 2.13 meters (7 feet). Popular diameters are 31.75, 45, 60.3, and 63.5 mm. Depending on the size and corrugation geometry, these waveguides propagate the low-loss HE11 mode from 28 GHz to over 300 GHz. They can also be used to transmit the circular TE01­ mode in bends with low loss at frequencies as low as 10 GHz. In addition to 6061-T6 aluminum, waveguides are available in CuCrZr and 316L stainless steel. APPLICATIONS Industrial processing systems using millimeter waves Electron cyclotron heating of fusion plasmas Plasma diagnostics Submillimeter laser cavities Antenna feeds FEATURES Extremely low loss (as low as 1% per 100 meters) Extremely large bandwidths in the HE11 mode (up to 8:1 or more) Excellent radiation patterns High-power transmission (up to 1 MW in air; higher in vacuum) Thick wall tubing allows for stable alignment Helicoflex® vacuum seals can be located between waveguides Waveguides are relatively lightweight even in the largest size Can be used with quasi-optical equipment such as miter bends

GA-EMS provides radiation monitoring systems for new plant builds and to retrofit existing plant installations. Systems are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A., and lead the industry in meeting safety and non-safety requirements. Our quality assurance program ensures systems fully comply with: 10CFR50, Appendix B 10CFR21 NQA-1 (2008) and NQA-1a (2009) ANSI N45.2, including applicable daughter standards ISO 9001-2008 Regulatory Guide 1.97 NUPIC We provide unparalleled customer support, training, and obsolescence mitigation to ensure each fielded system continues to operate reliably for the plant's entire operating lifecycle. GA-EMS is also experienced in creating customized systems for use in industrial environments, providing users with the capability to monitor, measure, and identify radiation in and around the workplace.

General Atomics (GA) is a pioneer in the research and development of innovative permanent magnets and linear motors to create clean, fast and efficient transportation solutions. GA's passive maglev system uses permanent magnetics on vehicles and linear synchronous motors on guideways to levitate and propel vehicles. Maglev systems do not require electric motors, engines, or fuel, and have no moving parts on the vehicle. The result is a clean, light-weight vehicle design that eliminates engine and wheel noise, and harmful emissions. By using permanent magnets for levitation, any requirement for overhead powerlines or electric third rails is eliminated, helping improve safety and environmental aesthetics. GA was the first in the United States to build a full scale working maglev system, which operates on a 400-foot test track in San Diego, California. GA's Electromagnetic Systems Group (GA-EMS) provides design, prototyping and manufacturing capabilities for the Maglev system permanent magnets and linear motors. GA-EMS manufacturing offers the depth of experience and sophisticated machining, winding, milling, assembly, and test equipment for the production of these highly specialized components.

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) industrial Supercritical Water Oxidation (iSCWO) technology is successfully treating a broad range of pumpable hazardous and non-hazardous waste, with a 99.99% destruction removal efficiency. iSCWO provides a safe, cost effective, and environmentally sound solution to replace alternative technologies that have high emission rates, post treatment requirements, and substantial installation and operation costs. Safe, effective destruction of Expired or obsolete pesticides, fertilizers and fungicides Contaminated water (waste water clean up) Expired or obsolete paints andor petroleum products Petroleum waste streams Organic cleaning solutions Energetic material (explosives or propellant) Unique material not suitable for normal transportation or disposal Fixed and Transportable Solutions In addition to offering fixed site solutions, GA-EMS provides the only flexible, transportable iSCWO system available today to facilitate "generate and destroy on-site" capabilities. The modular design allows for rapid set-up and start of process operations. A single three gallons per minute (3 GPM) transportable system consists of two compact equipment skids housed inside two shipping containers to create a convenient, cost effective platform for multiple site waste destruction when and where it is needed. Parallel, redundant system designs are available for both fixed and transportable systems to increase throughput and improve efficiency.

General Atomics' hardware agnostic data aware storage software, Nirvana, provides a global view of all data across an organization’s multiple storage systems, including cloud storage. Nirvana implements intelligent, automated tiering across flash, parallel file systems, NAS, object and cloud storage - with comprehensive data awareness and rich analytics about the data stored and its contents. With Nirvana, data can be stored and moved across multiple tiers with no vendor lock-in, reducing storage costs by 75%. Nirvana also provides comprehensive metadata extraction, creation and search capabilities through an intuitive graphical user interface, making data easy to find, track, move, and manage throughout its lifecycle - while providing security, auditing and data provenance across global, multi-organization collaborative workflows.

GA's TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics) reactor is the most widely used non-power nuclear reactor in the world. GA has installed 66 TRIGA reactors at universities, government and industrial laboratories, and medical centers in 24 countries. GA's reactors are used in many diverse applications, including production of radioisotopes for medicine and industry, treatment of tumors, nondestructive testing, basic research on the properties of matter, and for education and training. These reactors operate at thermal power levels from less than 0.1 to 16 megawatts, and are pulsed to 22, 000 megawatts. The high power pulsing is possible due to the unique properties of GA's uranium-zirconium hydride fuel, which provides unrivaled safety characteristics. The safety features of this fuel also permit flexibility in siting, with minimal environmental effects. TRIGA International, a joint venture company with CERCA of France, manufactures and sells TRIGA fuel to research reactors.
