PR: American Nuclear Society welcomes Senate confirmation of Ted Garrish as the DOE’s nuclear energy secretary
Washington, D.C. — The American Nuclear Society (ANS) applauds the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Theodore “Ted” Garrish as Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
“On behalf of over 11,000 professionals in the fields of nuclear science and technology, the American Nuclear Society congratulates Mr. Garrish on being confirmed by the Senate to once again lead the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy,” said ANS President H.M. "Hash" Hashemian.

Aqueous and gaseous tritiated streams are to be processed in many Fusion, Fission and Isotope Separation Systems. A number of processes have been proposed. Some of them are well established, others are not yet industrially applied. From an engineering point of view these processes are evaluated for use in industrial plants with large scale separating requirements. Tritium processing experience from fission plants (mainly heavy water reactors) can be directly applied to Fusion Reactor Tritium systems. Sufficient experience for equipment design and material selection for industrial plants is already established.
