Anfield Energy to start construction of Utah uranium mine
British Columbia-based Anfield Energy has scheduled a groundbreaking on November 6 at its uranium and vanadium Velvet-Wood mine, located in southeastern Utah’s Lisbon Valley. According to Corey Dias, the company’s CEO, it will be "more than a groundbreaking—it’s a bold declaration of Anfield’s readiness to help fuel the American nuclear renaissance.”

Treatment of tritiated waste from fusion power reactors has received little attention. Wastes will need detritiation involving isotope swamping before disposal, recycling or exemption. Work on detritiation techniques should consider the isotopic dilution involved as well as decontamination factor, volume reduction and product homogeneity; for the cost of tritium recovery from the contaminated water (or hydrogen) produced is highest for tritium levels just above the release limits. Most important to the overall costs of tritiated waste disposal are release and declassification limits.
