DOE awards $2.7B for HALEU and LEU enrichment
Yesterday, the Department of Energy announced that three enrichment services companies have been awarded task orders worth $900 million each. Those task orders were given to American Centrifuge Operating (a Centrus Energy subsidiary) and General Matter, both of which will develop domestic HALEU enrichment capacity, along with Orano Federal Services, which will build domestic LEU enrichment capacity.
The DOE also announced that it has awarded Global Laser Enrichment an additional $28 million to continue advancing next generation enrichment technology.

Possibility of helical device as a high current electron source by utilizing a new method of runaway electrons extraction has been investigated. Magnetic force lines of the helical system with extraction coils and electron orbits in the given magnetic configuration have been calculated to design an experimental device for demonstrate electrons extracting from the helical device. Numerical results show it can be made.
