Proposed FY 2027 DOE, NRC budgets ask for less
The White House is requesting $1.5 billion for the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy in the fiscal year 2027 budget proposal, about 9 percent less than the previous year.
The request from the Trump administration is one of several associated with nuclear energy in the proposal, which was released Friday. Congress still must review and vote on the budget.

The mass transfer parameters of Liquid Phase Catalytic Exchange (LPCE) column have been evaluated as a part of conceptual design study of a water detritiation facility for JET. Height of Transfer Unit (HTU), Height Equivalent to Theoretical Plate (HETP) and overall mass transfer coefficient (KG) were evaluated for tritium and deuterium isotopic exchange between gaseous hydrogen and liquid water using the LPCE column operated with the same three-isotope mixture. The HTU and KG were the same for tritium and deuterium. This indicates that mass transfer in gaseous phase and isotopic exchange reaction limit the overall mass transfer rate in the LPCE column. However, a deviation from this behaviour has been observed for the small water load to the column.
