U.K. releases new plans to speed nuclear deployment
In an effort to revamp its nuclear sector and enable the buildout of new projects, the U.K. has unveiled a sweeping set of changes to project deployment. These changes, which are set to come into effect by the end of next year, will restructure the country’s regulatory and environmental approval framework and directly support new growth through various workforce efforts.

A 1-kJ KrF laser system under development is described. The system has an oscillator, three electron-beam (e-beam) amplifiers, and a Raman pulse compression system. The second stage e-beam amplifier has generated 170 J at the overall efficiency of 1.9%. The final stage amplifier is designed to deliver a 1-kJ optical output in 100 ns.
