DOE fast tracks test reactor projects: What to know
The Department of Energy today named 10 companies that want to get a test reactor critical within the next year using the DOE’s offer to authorize test reactors outside of national laboratories. As first outlined in one of the four executive orders on nuclear energy released by President Trump on May 23 and in the request for applications for the Reactor Pilot Program released June 18, the companies must use their own money and sites—and DOE authorization—to get reactors operating. What they won’t need is a Nuclear Regulatory Commission license.

Studying of energy and spatial distribution of fast ions is the principal problem in GDT-based neutron source project. The analyser described here was used to solve this problem. It includes active target, stripping chamber, electrostatic capacitor and microchannel plate with amplifiers. Fast ions are neutralizing on active target (hydrogen beam). These particles go through collimation system, get recharged in the stripping chamber for further separation on energies in the electrostatic analyser and finally falls to MCP. Then signals are amplified and registered.
