Illinois lifts moratorium on new large nuclear reactors
New power reactors of any size can be now be sited in the state of Illinois, thanks to legislation signed by Gov. J. B. Pritzker on January 8. The Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA)—which Pritzker says is designed to lower energy costs for consumers, drive the development of new energy resources in the state, and strengthen the grid—lifts the moratorium on new, large nuclear reactors that Illinois enacted in the late 1980s.

Samples of uranium, thorium, thoriated tungsten, potassium bromide, barium, and strontium were irradiated at TFTR under a ‘new tokamak applications’ initiative launched in 1997. The saturation activity data obtained from data analysis of these measurements is reported. This new addition to the vast experimental database from mixed D-T and D-D neutron irraditions at TFTR offers an invaluable resource for benchmarking of calculations in relation to the design and regulatory licensing of fusion reactors designed specifically around applications like transmutation of actinide and fission product waste, radioisotope production for medical and industrial applications.
