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.

Ion saturation currents in a Hanbit mirror plasma have been analyzed by using the wavelet bispectral method. From this bicoherence analysis, an interesting phase coherent mode has been found at a very low frequency. This mode seems to be generated by the low frequency turbulence which could be identified as either ion drift waves or interchange modes. The wave coupling process leading to this coherent structure is found to follow the resonant three-wave coupling with an exact frequency match. A brief review is given on this coherent turbulence structure in a Hanbit mirror plasma.
