GLE gets incentives, draft EIS
The governments of Kentucky and McCracken County have granted preliminary approval to Global Laser Enrichment for a comprehensive incentive package to support the development of the North Carolina–based company’s planned Paducah Laser Enrichment Facility in the western part of the state. The performance-based incentive package would provide as much as $98.9 million in tax incentives and other economic incentives—provided that GLE reaches the required thresholds in investments and job creation.
In addition, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has completed a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) in response to GLE’s application to construct and operate the PLEF. Members of the public can submit comments on the draft EIS by May 11 for consideration by the NRC.

The low Z armor tiles of the First Wall (FW) are designed. The thermohydraulics analysis, evaluation of the thickness for evaporated erosin are performed. In addition, surface heat flux of the FW caused by runaway electrons, the electromagnetic loads, impact of the FW protection layer thickness on neutronics performance, and tritium inventory of the FW tiles are calculated.
