Proposed FY 2027 DOE, NRC budgets ask for less
The White House is requesting $1.5 billion for the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy in the fiscal year 2027 budget proposal, about 9 percent less than the previous year.
The request from the Trump administration is one of several associated with nuclear energy in the proposal, which was released Friday. Congress still must review and vote on the budget.

Neutronics analysis for the TFTR Lithium Blanket Module (LBM) design included 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D exploratory calculations culminating in reference noncoupled and coupled Monte Carlo calculations of fluxes, tritium production, and foil responses throughout the module for both D-T and D-D plasmas. ,Neutron flux and tritium production were shown to be quite flat across the module, validating the choice of a 10-cm-radius central test region. A Monte Carlo perturbation routine was extensively used for modeling studies. The front-face fusion fluence and central region tritium production can be calculated to better than ±15% uncertainty overall.
