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 electron power deposition profile has been estimated experimentally during the ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating and the electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) in the compact helical system (CHS). The time evolution of the local electron temperature is measured from the second harmonic electron cyclotron emission (ECE) using super heterodyne radiometer. The absorbed power by electrons has been derived from the change in the slopes of the local electron temperature just before and after the input power is turned off. The power deposition profiles of electrons are compared with results from the calculation code in ICRF experiment. Those results show good agreement. In the ECRH experiment the input power is modulated to reduce the power deposition profile. Those analyses give results that the input power is absorbed around ρ =0.6.
