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.

Cesium-exchanged Type 4A zeolites can encapsulate high-pressure tritium by physical entrapment in interior pores. We present data on storage capacity related to physical pore volume in the zeolite, and show that storage stability is reasonably good for short periods. Our data also shows that the zeolite releases helium while retaining tritium. Results are analyzed in terms of a diffusion model in the literature. The zeolite showed no structural change after a radiation dose of 108 Gy; it is unclear if radiation affects storage stability.
