U.K., Japan to extend decommissioning partnership
The U.K.’s Sellafield Ltd. and Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power Company have pledge to continue to work together for up to an additional 10 years, extending a cooperative agreement begun in 2014 following the 2011 tsunami that resulted in the irreparable damage of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi plant.

Recent transmission electron microscopy examinations of heavy-ion-bombarded vanadium have shown that the peak swelling temperature was sensitive to impurity content. In addition, anomalously large strain fields were observed around voids at 650°C. At higher temperatures, thin precipitates were observed to form on void surfaces. These strain and precipitate effects are shown to be caused by impurity segregation to void surfaces during irradiation.
