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.

A multi-channel microwave interferometer can measure plasma density radial profiles in a single plasma shot. It has six observing channels for measuring the radial electron line integrated density profile. The multi-channel microwave interferometer has been reconstructed for improving the signal intensity increase. We set a spherical mirror between the probe beam transmission horn and the injection port window of the multi-channel microwave interferometer. The insertion of spherical mirror makes signal intensity in all measuring channels to be improved. Then, we can successfully obtain the radial electron density profile in a single plasma shot.
