DOE launches UPRISE to boost nuclear capacity
The Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy has launched a new initiative to meet the government’s goal of increasing U.S. nuclear energy capacity by boosting the power output of existing nuclear reactors through uprates and restarts and by completing stalled reactor projects.
UPRISE, the Utility Power Reactor Incremental Scaling Effort, managed by Idaho National Laboratory, is to “deliver immediate results that will accelerate nuclear power growth and foster innovation to address the nation’s urgent energy needs,” DOE-NE said in its announcement.

Various titanium and palladium metal and hydride preparations have been subjected to D2 gas loading at pressures up to 2.4 kbars followed by temperature cycling. Neutron yield was monitored in an underground laboratory with a detection system with a counting efficiency of ∼9.2% and a background of 10 count/h. No clearly identified neutron yield in excess of background has been detected.
