U.K. releases new plans to speed nuclear deployment
In an effort to revamp its nuclear sector and enable the buildout of new projects, the U.K. has unveiled a sweeping set of changes to project deployment. These changes, which are set to come into effect by the end of next year, will restructure the country’s regulatory and environmental approval framework and directly support new growth through various workforce efforts.

The new energy recovery method using secondary electron emission has been studied in order to improve energy recovery from high energy protons of fusion products in D-3He nuclear fusion generation. The model experiments were performed by using the tandem electrostatic accelerator and the basic characteristics were investigated. According to our results, for penetration aluminum is better as a target material than copper, H+ is better than He2+, and higher energy beam is better which agree with numerical calculations. A qualitative characteristic of secondary electron emission dependence on beam energy was also obtained.
