From South Korea to Belgium: Testing a high-density research reactor fuel
The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has developed a high-density uranium silicide fuel designed to replace high-enriched uranium in research reactors. Recent irradiation tests appear to be successful, KAERI reports, which means the fuel could be commercialized to continue a key global nuclear nonproliferation effort—converting research reactors to run on low-enriched uranium fuel.

The presence of large magnetic interferences in the EBTP plasma makes the detection of normal zones in the superconductor extremely difficult. A technique has been developed to model these magnetic noises and coil components as mutual inductances. The computer program SPICE was then used to develop a proposed conceptual circuit for reliable protection of the EBT-P mirror coils in the 60 GHz mode that may later be upgraded to 90 GHz operations.
