From Capitol Hill: Nuclear is back, critical for America’s energy future
The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy convened its first hearing of the year, “American Energy Dominance: Dawn of the New Nuclear Era,” on January 7, where lawmakers and industry leaders discussed how nuclear energy can help meet surging electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, advanced manufacturing, and national security needs.

We summarize our recent 1½-D simulations of ITER performance. These simulations establish the feasibility and robustness against uncertainties of the radiative mantle as an important element in the ITER radiative power exhaust solution. They also establish the feasibility of a reduced-cost ITER option.
