Summers
The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, the independent agency responsible for ensuring that Department of Energy facilities are protective of public health and safety, announced that the board’s acting chairman, Thomas Summers, has concluded his service with the agency, having completed his second term as a board member on October 18.
Summers’ departure leaves Patricia Lee, who joined the DNFSB after being confirmed by the Senate in July 2024, as the board’s only remaining member and acting chair. Lee’s DNFSB board term ends in October 2027.

JAERI has been developing an improved compact tritium gas enrichment/recycling system to handle relatively smaller amount of tritium for efficient researches on tritium processing and development work. An electrochemical hydrogen pump based on CaZr0.9In0.1O3− α proton conductor is investigated to separate hydrogen isotopes directly from inert gas carrier after the enrichment process of the system. The prototype hydrogen pump was developed for the first time to operate under vacuum condition at the cathode compartment, and the performance test was carried out.
