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.

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.
