DOE awards ANS-backed workforce consortium $19.2M
The Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy recently awarded about $49.7 million to 10 university-led projects aiming to develop nuclear workforce training programs around the country.
DOE-NE issued its largest award, $19.2 million, to the newly formed Great Lakes Partnership to Enhance the Nuclear Workforce (GLP). This regional consortium, which is led by the University of Toledo and includes the American Nuclear Society, will use the funds to fill a variety of existing gaps in the nuclear workforce pipeline.

By introducing an induction heater and combination of a compact heat exchanger and a helium loop as a cooler, high temperature operation of lithium-lead loop at Kyoto University was performed successfully. After modification of thermal insulation, reasonable temperature distribution was obtained and sufficient effective heating power of 2.7kW and heating efficiency of 40% was demonstrated without concern about overheating of downstream of the high temperature section. As a result, observed highest temperature is 926°C and 4 hours continuous operation above 900°C was achieved.
