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.

Local transport properties of high-beta plasmas in the Large Helical Device are studied by comparing the beta dependence of the experimental results with that of the gyro-reduced Bohm-type transport coefficients. The gradual degradation of global confinement in the high-beta regime seems to be mainly caused by the increment in the local transport at the peripheral region. Effects of the resistive pressure-gradient-driven (g-mode) turbulence on the peripheral transport are also studied. The comparison of the experimental transport coefficients and the calculation results shows that the resistive g-mode can be considered as one of the causes of this degradation.
