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.

The electronic states of Li2O were observed using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). By exposing to the different pressures of H2O vapor, the peak attributed to the surface hydroxyl groups was observed. After exposing to the enough pressure to compose LiOH, an obvious change has not been observed in UPS spectra by the precision of the present study although the change was observed in XPS. The density of states (DOS) of Li2O was calculated using CASTEP code, and the obtained spectra were discussed using the results of the calculation.
