Tennessee issues commercial fusion license to Type One Energy for Bull Run site
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has issued Type One Energy the first license to operate a commercial fusion machine in the state. The state license is also the first to be issued after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a proposed rule on an augmented byproduct material framework earlier this year. The NRC proposed in February that the framework be expanded “to accommodate the wide variety of anticipated fusion machine designs across the National Materials Program.”
We develop software for accurately, efficiently, and easily predicting radiation fields. Our Attila® and Attila4MCTM products are used worldwide for shielding, radiological protection, and a myriad of other scenarios where radiation effects play an important role in product or system performance, safety, or reliability. Our mission focuses around delivering state-of-the-art software leveraging both Monte Carlo and deterministic methods, and combining with robust CAD integration, to help organizations efficiently integrate radiation transport simulations into their design cycle.
