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.

In the GAMMA 10 central ECRH experiments, the electron heating estimated from the soft X-ray (SX) measurement was observed with any X-mode ratio. As increasing X-mode ratio from 0% to 100%, the SX power signal increased from about 2 times to about 3 times. And the Diamagnetic signal at the central cell (DMCC) increase is the maximum (+5%) with 100% X-mode. That is, 100% X-mode is the appropriate injecting polarization as expected. The DMCC decrease was observed except with 100% X-mode though electron heating was observed. And as decreasing X-mode ratio, the peak intensity of SX radial profile shifted from the center to the South and the asymmetric electron heating was observed. And as decreasing X-mode ratio, the peripheral ion loss seems to increase.
