The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

A new method of fusion power measurement based on flow neutron-activation analysis has been examined. A single-dimension model has been applied to consider mass transfer and diffusion of radioactive fluid matter being irradiated to a fast neutron flux while traveling through a pipe. This model enables evaluation of a temporal resolution and an achievable sensitivity for the proposed method. The application of light elements B, C, N, O, F, and Ne was analyzed. Numerical simulation has demonstrated that a gas-jet activation system should provide fusion power measurement for ITER-FEAT conditions in the range from 2 to 500 MW with a temporal resolution of 10 ms and 10% accuracy.
