The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

Targets experimented on the Laser Megajoule (LMJ) facility are composed of amorphous hydrogenated carbon capsules. Some of them present rippled surface features like sinusoidal functions. Other experimented targets are hohlraum-containing capsules. The main difficulty when analyzing the machined capsules is to characterize the feature’s orientation and the sinusoidal shape featured in the capsule thickness by laser machining. For the capsule enclosed by the hohlraum, the main challenge is to characterize the capsule centering inside the assembled hohlraum. X-ray tomography is used to realize measurement, and obtained results are presented in this paper.
