NSI report addresses supply chain bottlenecks
A new report commissioned by the Nuclear Scaling Initiative, conducted by energy consultant Solestiss, and funded by the Bezos Earth Fund, identifies and recommends solutions to overcome current bottlenecks in the supply chain for advanced reactors.
Broadly speaking, the report recommends the repeated deployment of Gen III+ reactor designs to rebuild the foundation of domestic manufacturing, workforce, and qualification capacity.

This collection of practical suggestions should prove useful to workers at tritium installations where gloveboxes and cleanup systems are used, or where upgrades to such systems are anticipated. These tips are effective approaches to meeting today's stringent containment requirements, and include many applications and extensions of accepted tritium practice, plus a few innovations of our own. The subjects covered are tritium piping systems, glovebox operations, personnel protection, tritium monitoring, and contamination control. Some specific problems arising out of recent experience are also discussed, along with some tentative solutions.
