GLE gets incentives, draft EIS
The governments of Kentucky and McCracken County have granted preliminary approval to Global Laser Enrichment for a comprehensive incentive package to support the development of the North Carolina–based company’s planned Paducah Laser Enrichment Facility in the western part of the state. The performance-based incentive package would provide as much as $98.9 million in tax incentives and other economic incentives—provided that GLE reaches the required thresholds in investments and job creation.
In addition, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has completed a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) in response to GLE’s application to construct and operate the PLEF. Members of the public can submit comments on the draft EIS by May 11 for consideration by the NRC.

Tritium release behavior through structural material in the presence of molten lithium-lead alloy (Li17Pb83) was studied in TREXMAN program. Tritium permeation ratio to the secondary carrier gas line depends strongly upon H2 pressure in He sweep gas of the primary and the secondary carrier gas lines. It increased with increasing H2 pressure below 104 Pa and above the value it became constant. An analytical model was applied to the experimental data on the tritium release to obtain the mass transfer coefficient.
