Recent surveys confirm high levels of U.S. nuclear support
Surveys have consistently indicated that public support in the United States for the use of nuclear energy has been increasing in recent years. Four recent surveys continue to suggest that near-record-high numbers of Americans support nuclear energy. However, the survey results differ—sometimes widely—in the details of their findings.

Heat of transports Q* of hydrogen isotopes in the α-phase of Zr have been measured in temperature regions from 623K to 673K for H and from 523K to 623K for T by analysing the redistribution process under a thermal gradient. An isotope mass dependence of Q* has not been unequivocally established though a tendency that Q*(H)>Q*(T) has been observed. These data have been discussed on the basis of the biased-jump diffusion model, and a large negative bias effect has been pointed out as characteristics of Q* of hydrogen isotopes in group-IV metals in comparison with the case of group-V metals.
