Joint NEA project performs high-burnup test
An article in the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s July news bulletin noted that a first test has been completed for the High Burnup Experiments in Reactivity Initiated Accident (HERA) project. The project aim is to understand the performance of light water reactor fuel at high burnup under reactivity-initiated accidents (RIA).

Initial investigation on high enthalpy plasma stream generation in the North Carolina State University Coaxial Plasma Source[1] (CPS) facility is presented. Tenuous, yet high enthalpy, flows are produced from this Magnetized Coaxial plasma Gun (MCG) which allow laboratory study of plasma streams with a wide variety of applications. The applicability includes, but is not limited to, advanced thrusters for electric space propulsion, astrophysical jets and critical ionization phenomena, magnetic fusion compact toroid devices and tokamak fueling, large scale plasma etching and deposition, etc.
