Bipartisan bill aims to promote nuclear fusion development
Curtis
Cantwell
Sens. Maria Cantwell (D., Wash.) and John Curtis (R., Utah) have introduced a bill that would enable nuclear fusion energy technologies to have access to the federal advanced manufacturing production tax credit.
The companion version of the bill was introduced in the House by Reps. Carol Miller (R., W.Va.), Suzan DelBene (D., Wash.), Claudia Tenney (R., N.Y.), and Don Beyer (D., Va.)

Under a collaborative agreement between the US and Japan, two tritium processing components, a palladium diffuser and a ceramic electrolysis cell, have been tested with tritium for application to a Fuel Cleanup System(FCU) for plasma exhaust processing at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The fundamental characteristics, compatibility with tritium, impurities effects with tritium, and long-term behavior of the components, were studied over a three year period. Based on these studies, an integrated process loop, “JAERI Fuel Cleanup System” equipped with the above components was installed at the TSTA for full scale demonstration of the plasma exhaust reprocessing.
