New report lays out path to U.S. nuclear energy dominance
The new report “How America Can Achieve Nuclear Energy Dominance,” from the Working Group on U.S. Nuclear Energy Dominance, outlines a plan of action for the Trump administration that includes deploying new nuclear reactors, developing domestic supply chains, promoting nuclear exports, reforming regulations, and developing the workforce.
Working group chair Todd Abrajano said, “We welcome the Trump administration’s bold moves to kick-start the U.S. nuclear energy sector, but we recognize that President Trump’s executive orders alone can’t achieve our goals.”

A production route for 99mTc and 101Tc using the (γ,p) reaction was considered. For an electron beam with energy of 40 MeV and power of 10 kW, distributions of produced 99mTc and 101Tc were obtained. For the optimized target (0.5 g) configurations, values of 99mTc specific activities of 9.53 GBq/g (0.26 Ci/g) for a one-stage setup and of 1.77 GBq/g (0.049 Ci/g) for a two-stage setup were obtained. For 101Tc, the corresponding values were 6.51 GBq/g (0.18 Ci/g) and 1.24 GBq/g (0.033 Ci/g).
