IAEA report confirms safety of discharged Fukushima water
An International Atomic Energy Agency task force has confirmed that the discharge of treated water from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is proceeding in line with international safety standards. The task force’s findings were published in the agency’s fourth report since Tokyo Electric Power Company began discharging Fukushima’s treated and diluted water in August 2023.
More information can be found on the IAEA’s Fukushima Daiichi ALPS Treated Water Discharge web page.

This work presents a concise overview of some energetic particle issues in stellarators. The main attention is paid to stochastic diffusion of the energetic ions and Alfvén instabilities caused by these ions. The results of theoretical studies and numerical modeling of Alfvénic activities, in particular, experiments on the Wendelstein 7-AS and Large Helical Device, are presented.
