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.

The low Z armor tiles of the First Wall (FW) are designed. The thermohydraulics analysis, evaluation of the thickness for evaporated erosin are performed. In addition, surface heat flux of the FW caused by runaway electrons, the electromagnetic loads, impact of the FW protection layer thickness on neutronics performance, and tritium inventory of the FW tiles are calculated.
