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.

Superconducting magnets have complex structures. The coil pack is made up of alternate layers of superconductor and insulator, which form an extremely unisotropic composite structure. For example, the MFTF magnet design, the transverse stiffness is quite soft as compared to the circumferential stiffness [1]. In this study, cylindrically wound superconducting magnets were modeled by two-dimensional multi-rings connected by soft springs, and the internal vibration and buckling of the system were studied both experimentally and analytically. Since the linear elastic theory used in the previous studies [2,3] has failed to predict buckling and vibration of internal turns in the bending mode, elastic ring theory was used in this study. A model based on ring theory and magnetic stiffness was developed to explain experimental observations and showed a fair to good agreement between experimental and theoretical values of the buckling current.
