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.

If in-vessel components in a fusion device are made of two or more different materials, materials mixing will take place via erosion and redeposition. Such materials mixing can alter surface characteristics significantly, which then impacts on the plasma interactions behavior. This is particularly true if low-Z and high-Z materials are mixed up, where Z is the atomic number. Discussed in this report are the dynamic compatibilities between these materials under DT-plasma particle bombardment.
