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 TFTR facility has recently undergone modifications that increase the auxiliary heating capability by the addition of 9 MW of ion cyclotron frequency heating power. In addition, one of the neutral injection beam lines has been reoriented to provide balanced injection capability at full power (27 MW). Results from experiments with this new capability are presented. The TFTR program calls for the initiation of D-T breakeven experiments in the 1990–1991 time frame; additional shielding, tritium neutral beams and reliability upgrades are all prerequisites for the D-T experiments. The planning for this D-T preparation program is discussed.
