Anfield Energy to start construction of Utah uranium mine
British Columbia, Canada–based Anfield Energy has scheduled a ground-breaking ceremony on November 6 at its Velvet-Wood uranium and vanadium mine, located in southeastern Utah’s Lisbon Valley. According to Anfield CEO Corey Dias, it will be “more than a ground breaking—it’s a bold declaration of Anfield’s readiness to help fuel the American nuclear renaissance.”

Description and results of a novel apparatus for determining the flow conductance through a laser drilled hole in a spherical shell for inertial confinement fusion experiments are described. The instrument monitors the pressure of an enclosed volume containing the laser drilled capsule as air bleeds through the hole into the shell. From these measurements one obtains the conductance of the fill hole. This system has proven to be a valuable tool for verifying the conductance into the capsule in a timely and nondestructive manner.
