American Nuclear Society condemns attack on UAE's Barakah nuclear power plant
Washington, D.C. — The American Nuclear Society (ANS) issued the following statement:
"The American Nuclear Society condemns today's drone attack on the outer perimeter of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the United Arab Emirates. The IAEA has confirmed that radiation levels are normal and no injuries have been reported. The safety systems performed as designed, a demonstration of the layered protections built into robust modern nuclear facilities. Incidents like this reinforce the importance of the IAEA's calls for maximum military restraint around nuclear power reactors, and of full adherence by all combatants to the IAEA's seven pillars for nuclear safety and security during armed conflict."

First experimental results on microwave radiation at double plasma frequency from plasma heated by ~100 keV, 2-10 MW electron beam of ~100 s duration in GOL-3 are presented. Measurements were done in 75-200 GHz band. The spectrum was peaked at ~94 GHz at ~31013 cm-3 plasma density, the temporal behavior of radiated power was spiky. The generation efficiency reached ~1% of total beam power.
