60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

Mechanisms of the influence of flow shear on anomalous transport are considered: reduction of growth rate of linear instabilities, suppression of turbulent eddies, change in cross phase of fluctuating parameters. Different channels for formation of the radial electric field, E × B flow and scenarios of generation of the edge and internal transport barriers are discussed.
