Who’s in the running for DOE Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses?
Today is the Department of Energy’s deadline for states to respond to a request for information on proposed Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses. Issued on January 28, the RFI marks the first step toward potentially establishing voluntary federal-state partnerships designed to build a coherent, end-to-end nuclear fuel cycle strategy for the country, including waste management, according to the DOE.

Problems related to tritium in the fuel cycle of a D-3He fusion reactor are discussed. About 15 g/day of tritium is estimated to be exhausted from a 1-GW(electric) D-3He reactor. The cumulative amount of tritium in storage reaches ∼80 kg after 30 yr of operation if all the tritium exhausted from the plasma is confined.
