NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

We examine the hydrogen adsorption behavior of chabazite (CHA) and Linde Type A (LTA) zeolites, both of which possess an eight-membered ring (Si8O8), as the temperature was increased from 77 K (thermal adsorption spectroscopy). The CHA-type zeolites started to uptake hydrogen at around 200 K, whereas no other adsorbent showed any hydrogen uptake. The hydrogen adsorption temperature of CHA was similar to that observed by thermal desorption spectroscopy. A high D2/H2 separation ability at relatively high temperature in the CHA-type zeolites may be expected in the intrinsic adsorption property.
