The spotlight shines on a nuclear influencer
Brazilian model, nuclear advocate, and philanthropist Isabelle Boemeke, who the online TED lecture series describes as “the world’s first nuclear energy influencer,” was the subject of a recent New York Times article that explored her ardent support for and advocacy of nuclear technology.

No reaction was observed between B-type 244Cm2O3 and tungsten, molybdenum, or rhenium matrices in cermet compacts fabricated by cold pressing and sintering at temperatures up to 1850°C. Reaction was observed, however, between the oxide and tantalum matrices sintered as low as 1400°C. Cold pressing and sintering at the highest temperatures produced generally well-consolidated Cm2O3 refractory metal compacts of 85% or greater theoretical density. In compacts produced from well-mixed powders, the oxide was distributed uniformly in the metal matrix with little vaporization loss of Cm2Os.
