Constellation considers advanced nuclear in Maryland
Constellation is considering adding 2,000 MW of nuclear energy at Calvert Cliffs, located on Chesapeake Bay near Lusby, Md., which would effectively double the site’s output, according to the company’s near- and long-term project proposals submitted to the Marland Public Service Commission this week.

We explore the utility of using a gas other than hydrogen isotopes to neutralize energetic beams of D+ or H+ for applications in magnetic confinement fusion. We find that, at D+ energies above 160 keV, helium, relative to hydrogen, offers significant improvements in neutralization efficiency and in enrichment of the full energy component of the beam, and that similar advantages accrue with neon at D+ energies in excess of 200 keV.
