IAEA’s Grossi joins seawater sampling at Fukushima Daiichi
International cooperation in the monitoring of radiation levels in seawater near the disabled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant continues. Scientists from China, South Korea, and Switzerland were recently joined by International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi as they collected seawater samples under the “additional measures” framework, which was adapted in 2024 to increase the participation of other countries and enhance the transparency of the IAEA-led analyses.

A self-consistent global discharge simulation code, which combines a global transport module and a radiofrequency (RF) wave heating module in a self-consistent manner, has been developed for the Hanbit-device discharge modeling. Global fluid equations of ions and electrons are solved with oxygen impurity recycling equations in the global transport module, while Maxwell-Boltzmann equations are solved by the mode analysis technique in the RF heating module. Using the code, the global transport dynamics of ions, electrons, neutrals, and oxygen impurities can be studied as a function of external parameters, in the self-consistent calculation of the RF power deposition into the plasma from a model antenna system. Here, a simulation study is presented for the reference operation mode of the Hanbit mirror device to predict its performance.
