60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

Hydroxyl groups on the surface of Li2O were studied by using a diffuse reflectance method with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy at high temperature up to 833K under controlled D2O or D2 partial pressure. Multiple peaks due to the stretching vibration of 0-D were observed at 2748, 2717, 2660, 2620, 2540, 2520, 2490cm−1 showing a different behavior with temperature or atmosphere. When D2 was added to the sweep gas, peak intensity of 2660 and 2620cm−1 decreased. This result indicates that the surface nature is influenced by oxygen potential. Assignment of observed peaks to the surface nature was also discussed.
