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.

To look for the signature of coherent multibody fusion, experiments of D-beam implantation were carried out using a highly preloaded TiDx (x = 1.4) target and a counter telescope of a E-E charged-particle spectrometer. As a result of the experiments, two unique particles were repeatedly observed, namely, 3He (4.75 MeV) and triton (4.75 MeV) from 3D fusion proposed by a new class of fusion theory in solids. The two unique charged particles were identified as products of the reaction channel of 3D to t + 3He + 9.5 MeV by the combinational analyses of one- and two-dimensional data. The experimentally obtained 3D fusion rate was of the order of 103 fusions/s, a surprisingly large value, which was enhanced ~1026 times compared with the traditional theory of random (noncoherent) D-D reaction and its sequential D-D-D reaction process.
