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.

Nuclear heat deposition rates in ten different materials, Li2CO3, Graphite, Ti, Ni, Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Pb and W, subjected in D-T neutrons have been measured by a microcalorimetric technique in the frame work of JAERI/USDOE collaborative program on fusion neutronics. A great improvement in accuracy of experimental data was achieved by introducing a high sensitivity voltmeter and applying constant current on the thermal sensors. The measured heating rates were compared with calculations to verify the adequacy of the currently available data base relevant to the nuclear heating process. In general, calculations with data of JENDL-3 and ENDL-85 libraries gave excellent agreements with experiments for all materials except Zr. The calculation with the MBCCS suffered large discrepancy from measurement.
