From Capitol Hill: Nuclear is back, critical for America’s energy future
The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy convened its first hearing of the year, “American Energy Dominance: Dawn of the New Nuclear Era,” on January 7, where lawmakers and industry leaders discussed how nuclear energy can help meet surging electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, advanced manufacturing, and national security needs.

As a part of the Phase I of JAERI/USDOE collaborative program on fusion blanket neutronics, the effect of constituents of the fusion blanket on tritium production rate distribution was examined experimentally by the Lithium-glass scintillator method. The self-shielding factor of the Lithium-glass scintillator was estimated by an experiment as well as a calculational method. The Li-glass method has shown excellent performance and reliability in the parametric measurement of the tritium production rate distribution.
