Who’s in the running for DOE Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses?
Today is the Department of Energy’s deadline for states to respond to a request for information on proposed Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses. Issued on January 28, the RFI marks the first step toward potentially establishing voluntary federal-state partnerships designed to build a coherent, end-to-end nuclear fuel cycle strategy for the country, including waste management, according to the DOE.

Two silicon drift detectors combine with the new and nonconventional software pulse-height analyzer (SPHA) to measure the time evolution of soft-X-ray spectra, the thermal electron and superthermal electron temperatures. The high-quality soft-X-ray spectral distributions are easily obtained by the new SPHA. Therefore, the measurement accuracies and the time resolutions of thermal electron and superthermal electron temperatures are also improved. The enhancement phenomenon of superthermal electron avalanche during electron cyclotron resonance heating and the pronounced change for the time evolution of soft-X-ray spectra during supersonic molecular beam injection are observed by this system.
