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.

An investigation of MHD effects on a Flibe (Li2BeF4) simulant fluid has been conducted under the US-Japan JUPITER-II collaboration program using "FLIHY" pipe flow facility at UCLA. The present paper reports a development of unique experimental techniques using aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide as a Flibe simulant. In order to apply a particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique for magnetic field condition, special optical devices were developed. The PIV measurements of MHD turbulent pipe flow at Re = 5300 were performed, and modification of the mean flow velocity as well as turbulence suppression was observed. A flat velocity profile in the pipe center and a steep velocity gradient in the near-wall region at Ha = 20 exhibits typical characteristics of Hartmann flow.
