PR: American Nuclear Society welcomes Senate confirmation of Ted Garrish as the DOE’s nuclear energy secretary
Washington, D.C. — The American Nuclear Society (ANS) applauds the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Theodore “Ted” Garrish as Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
“On behalf of over 11,000 professionals in the fields of nuclear science and technology, the American Nuclear Society congratulates Mr. Garrish on being confirmed by the Senate to once again lead the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy,” said ANS President H.M. "Hash" Hashemian.

SiC coating is formed on the reduced activation martensitic steel JLF-1 by radio frequency sputtering. The coating thickness decreases with increased deposition temperature and increases with increased deposition time. The atomic ratio of Si and C nears 1:1 in coating, while oxygen fraction exists. The coating shows a trend that the crystallization starts from deposition temperature of 723 K, though the coating is amorphous. In this study, the deuterium permeation flux of bare JLF-1 is lower about two orders of magnitude than that of Eurofer97, which is thought as a reason of oxidation of bare JLF-1 during test. The deuterium permeation flux of coated JLF-1 is about one to two orders of magnitude lower than that of bare JLF-1.
