DOE awards $2.7B for HALEU and LEU enrichment
Yesterday, the Department of Energy announced that three enrichment services companies have been awarded task orders worth $900 million each. Those task orders were given to American Centrifuge Operating (a Centrus Energy subsidiary) and General Matter, both of which will develop domestic HALEU enrichment capacity, along with Orano Federal Services, which will build domestic LEU enrichment capacity.
The DOE also announced that it has awarded Global Laser Enrichment an additional $28 million to continue advancing next generation enrichment technology.

One of the objectives of the Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe (TLK) is to develop new analytical techniques or improve existing ones for the qualitative and quantitative determination of the composition of gas mixtures containing tritium. Among the analytical techniques (mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, laser Raman spectroscopy, calorimetry, ionisation chambers, etc.) available at die TLK, gas chromatography plays a special role because different gas chromatographs are used not only for basic and applied research, but also for infrastructure applications. The TLK gas chromatographs are evaluated on the basis of flow diagrams and typical chromatograms. Further details such as type of columns, detectors and detection limits are also given.
