Nuclear News 40 Under 40—2025
Last year, we proudly launched the inaugural Nuclear News 40 Under 40 list to shine a spotlight on the exceptional young professionals driving the nuclear sector forward as the nuclear community faces a dramatic generational shift. We weren’t sure how a second list would go over, but once again, our members resoundingly answered the call, confirming what we already knew: The nuclear community is bursting with vision, talent, and extraordinary dedication.

Detritiation and Isotope Separation | Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Tritium Science and Technology (Part 2) | doi.org/10.13182/FST11-A12673

Experimental and analytical studies on hydrogen-tritium isotope separation by a CECE process with a LPCE column have been carried out in order to apply it to the water detritiation system for fusion reactors. Kogel catalysts and Dixon gauze rings were mixed at a certain ratio and packed in the column in a random manner. Performance tests of tritium separation by the column of 1 m length and 2.5 cm I.D. were performed at 101 kPa and 343 K. The maximum value of the separation factor was 19200 when the flow rate of hydrogen gas was 5 L/min. The optimum value of catalyst packing ratio was obtained as 35 % by the analysis using the channeling stage model. The values of separation factors predicted by the model corresponded with measured ones very well.
