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.

A polyimide membrane has a selective permeability for hydrogen gas and water vapor. A small scale experimental apparatus for reducing the tritium concentration of air was designed and fabricated at the Tritium Process Laboratory (TPL) in the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). Hollow filament polyimide membranes are installed in a gas separation module (Ube Industries, Ltd.). Tritium tests were performed with air containing a small amount of tritium. Experimental results showed an increase of tritium concentration in the permeant flow. This method will be applied to tritium removal systems.
