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.

Magnet alignment in the Mirror Fusion Test Facility-B (MFTF-B) tandem mirror has been measured by electron beams propagated along the axis. A least-squares fit to the data has been obtained by use of singular-value decomposition techniques. This fit determines the positions of the magnets that sensitively effect displacements of the field lines from alignment and, thus, the net geodesic curvature that drives radial transport. The magnets are determined to be aligned accurately enough that the MFTF-B trim coils can correct the field errors and reduce the neoclassical radial transport to an acceptable value.
