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.

Chapter 6. 3-D Theory | Special Issue on Large Helical Device (LHD) | doi.org/10.13182/FST10-A10811
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
Theoretical MHD analyses of the Large Helical Device (LHD) plasmas have progressed extensively. Recent results with respect to three-dimensional equilibrium, linear stability, and nonlinear dynamics are presented. Magnetic island variation due to finite-beta effect, the second stability of ballooning modes and related features, self-organization in nonlinear evolution of interchange modes, high-accuracy nonlinear calculation for ballooning modes up to high toroidal wave number, and plasma collapse in the ballooning mode dynamics are discussed.
