Framatome, KHNP to investigate producing Lu-177 in South Korea
Framatome and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to explore the possibility of producing the medical isotope Lutetium-177 at KHNP’s Wolsong nuclear power plant in South Korea. The companies also will investigate the feasibility of using the plant to support Korean production of medical radioisotopes in the future.

Edge plasma behavior was observed by fast camera at high density central-cell plasma in GAMMA 10. The plasma performance was better when the plasma rotated clockwise to the magnetic field. Also, when the interaction with the central-cell limiter was observed, the plasma stored energy was deteriorated. These results were very similar that of high potential central-cell plasma experiment as previously reported. Several rotation mechanisms exist, and on the empirical basis it is suggested the interaction with the central-cell limiter is important.
