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.

Ion exchange on a potassium-exchanged natural zeolite at various temperatures is examined. The ions studied were cesium and cobalt, and the contact temperatures were 25, 60, and 100°C. The main focus of the work was to examine the use of natural zeolite as a direct means for the removal of radioactive contaminants. It was found that cesium was more selectively sorbed than cobalt and that higher amounts of both cations were taken up as the temperature of contact increased. The raw data could be correlated using a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-type isotherm. The ion exchange equilibrium constants and activity of the sorbing ion on the zeolite were used in correlating the data. An Arrhenius behavior was suggested.
