South Korea looks to Southern and NuScale
This week, the United States and South Korea have taken two steps toward deepening their nuclear partnership through two notable announcements. First, the majority-state owned Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power signed a memorandum of understanding with Birmingham, Ala.–based Southern Nuclear.

Experiments on plasma heating with waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies that have been performed on the DIII-D tokamak are reviewed. High-power experiments (Prf [greater than or approximately equal to] 1 MW) have been performed using the ion Bernstein wave (IBW) (1988-1990), 32-MHz fast waves (FWs) (1990-1991), 60-MHz FWs (1991-1999), and higher-frequency FWs up to 120 MHz (1994-present). Efficient electron heating of the core plasma has been obtained in all of these regimes, with the exception of the IBW experiments.
