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.

Radiation induced change in electrical conductivity of proton conductive ceramics (Yb-doped SrCeO3) have been investigated under 14 MeV fast neutrons in air at temperatures of 293 and 373 K. It was found that the electrical conductivity under neutron irradiation at 293 and 373 K gradually decreased with increased neutron fluence reaching a constant for neutron fluences above 2.0 × 1018 and 1.0 × 1017 n/m2, respectively. The decrease of the electrical conductivity may be associated with annihilation of sub-bands due to Ce4+ to Ce3+ conversion.
