Joint NEA project performs high-burnup test
An article in the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s July news bulletin noted that a first test has been completed for the High Burnup Experiments in Reactivity Initiated Accident (HERA) project. The project aim is to understand the performance of light water reactor fuel at high burnup under reactivity-initiated accidents (RIA).

Significant advances in microwave and millimeter wave technology have enabled the development of a new generation of imaging diagnostics as a visualization tool in this frequency region. Millimeter-wave imaging diagnostic system is expected to be one of the most promising diagnostic methods that measure profiles and fluctuations of magnetically confined plasmas. It successfully measures the time evolutions of both radial and axial profiles of density and electron temperature and their fluctuation components in a tandem mirror plasma as well as tokamak plasmas. This paper presents the representative results obtained via imaging systems such as phase imaging interferometry, electron cyclotron emission imaging, and microwave imaging reflectometry.
