G7 pledges support for nuclear at Italy meeting
The Group of Seven (G7) recommitted its support for nuclear energy in the countries that opt to use it at a Ministerial Meeting on Climate in Italy last month.
In a statement following the April meeting, the group committed to support multilateral efforts to strengthen the resilience of nuclear supply chains, referencing the goal set by 25 countries during last year’s COP28 climate conference in Dubai to triple global nuclear generating capacity by 2050.

Dynamics of light impurities at multimirror trap GOL-3 was studied using imaging spectroscopy diagnostics in VUV and visible spectral range. The results of impurity balance and transport simulation as well as comparison with measurements are presented in this paper. Concentration of impurities in plasma and diffusion coefficient are found out from the measurements. Suitability using VUV and XUV spectroscopy for measuring main plasma parameters is considered.
