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.

Progress Toward the Compact Ignition Tokamak | doi.org/10.13182/FST89-A39735

Two-dimensional calculations of the prompt radiation responses in the 1.75 m Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT) have been carried out with a discrete ordinates model using the DOT 5.1 code. Of primary interest in the calculations was the nuclear heating rates in major tokamak structures such as the first wall, vacuum vessel and TF coils, which are required for the thermal and structural analyses. Comparisons were made with the results obtained with one-dimensional discrete ordinates models. Efforts were made to arrive at a simple algorithm that will provide the approximate two-dimensional distributions without the need to run a multi-dimensional model.
