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.

A “fusion plate” is designed for use with the Texas A&M University TRIGA reactor. The plate would contain 6LiD and could produce 14 MeV neutrons through thermal neutron induced 6Li(n,∝)3T reaction and subsequent T-D fusion as the tritons slow down. The results are based on the source produced from a plate 60 × 60 cm, containing 324 grams of 6LiD, which is placed in a thermal flux of 2×1012 n/cm2-s. The total neutron production from the T-D reaction and other significant reactions is 1.5×1012 neutrons/sec. The spectra resembles that from a 400 KeV plasma.
