Bahrain signs a nuclear collaboration MOU with the U.S.
Less than a week after news broke of the U.S. entering into civil nuclear talks with Malaysia, the U.S. State Department announced that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Bahrain’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani have also signed a memorandum of understanding concerning civil nuclear cooperation.

Particle confinement time τp has been obtained from measurements of poloidal and toroidal distributions of Ha and Lyman a emissions in CHS. These particle confinement times range between 1.5 and 4ms at a constant line-averaged density of 3×1013cm–3 for both cases of limiter- and divertor-dominated NBI plasmas with Ti-gettering. In these cases the energy confinement time τE were between 2 and 3ms. The density decay characteristic time τp* and global recycling coefficient R have been also measured for Ti-gettered plasmas and large τp* values were observed. As a result high recycling rates (R>0.92) are obtained for a wide density range. For a limiter-dominated case of boronized plasmas (Rax=92.1cm) values of τp were correlated with τE and a linear correlation between them was found for normalized τE to P-0.58 which is a power degradation term in LHD empirical scaling.
