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.

Impact on tritium behavior in the atmosphere was numerically analyzed and the tritium deposition coefficient onto water surface was measured by an experiment. Measured deposition coefficients were observed to vary with the mixing of water. It was shown by numerical analysis that when deposition coefficient was grater than 0.5, it could be expected that about 70 % of released tritium would be absorbed by water when release point was set on the sea and that when it was 0.15, about 40% of tritium would be absorbed.
