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.

On the basis of coupled kinetic/power-balance calculations, we examine the degree of recoil tail creation due to nuclear elastic scattering and its effect on the fusion reactivity of self-sustaining D-3He plasmas. It is shown that at a typical operating state (e.g. Tibulk = 100keV), the d–d [d–t] reaction rate parameter increases by 10–20% [decreases by ≤ 10%] from the values for Maxwellian distributions, while the d–3He reaction remains almost unchanged.
