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.

This paper presents the main parameters and design of proposed T-15MD tokamak. The installation is meant for demonstration of the tokamak two-component operating mode and for steady state operation problems-solving with a plasma current drive (CD) at a level of about 1 MA. Injection of hydrogen neutral beams with a power up to 8 MW is chosen as the main method for noninductive CD. For an electron temperature increase it is supposed to use ECH power up to 6 MW at a frequency of 110 GHz. Parameters of an ion source IVIS KS with a power of 3 MW which is under development for the T-15MD and the main characteristics of the NB injectors are described. Results of preliminary calculations of the tokamak plasma parameters are presented.
