DOE opens pilot program to authorize test reactors outside national labs
Details of the plan to test new reactor concepts under the Department of Energy’s authority but outside national laboratory boundaries—first outlined in one of the four executive orders on nuclear energy released on May 23—were just released in a request for applications issued by the DOE.

Type 304 stainless steel samples were irradiated with MeV-energy H and He ions and deuterium concentrations were in-situ observed by a nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) under a condition of continuous plasma exposure. It was found that one type of trap was produced by the irradiation and its trapping energy was 0.28 eV. The trap production rates to displacement were 6.8x10-3 for He ion and 5.1x10-4 for H ion, respectively. The trap was annihilated at 489 K in H-irradiated sample.
