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.

Physical features and possible applications of the trap with rotating plasma are considered. Rotating plasma can be formed by the axis symmetric magnetic trap with radial electrical field. Experimental results on hot hydrogen rotating plasma carried out at the PSP-2 device are briefly described. Rotating plasma with heavy ions is formed by means of cathode sputtering by ion bombardment and further ionization of sputtered atoms by plasma inside the trap. The sources of multicomponent atomic fluxes and plasma flow based on the trap with rotating heavy ion plasma and their applications are considered and discussed. The fan intensive fluxes of accelerated atoms can be used for surface treatment. The another source creates the dense plasma flow leaving out along the magnetic field axis. Sources of such type can be used for space engines and plasma separation process devices by the plasma ICRH method.
