World Bank, IAEA partner to fund nuclear energy
The World Bank and the International Atomic Energy Agency signed an agreement last week to cooperate on the construction and financing of advanced nuclear projects in developing countries, marking the first partnership since the bank ended its ban on funding for nuclear energy projects.

The dependence of the resonance position of the central-ECH (c-ECH) on plasma behavior was investigated using a fast camera. When the resonance positions were higher, low frequency fluctuation of ~6kHz was observed and at the same time the diamagnetic signal decreased. Also, the same frequency fluctuation was observed in the potential signal by Au beam probe. On the other hand this low frequency fluctuation was not appeared when the resonance position was seemed to be on the axis of the plasma. These results indicate that the convective ExB drift instabilities may be induced due to the off-axis heating by c-ECH.
