Katy Huff on the impact of loosening radiation regulations
Katy Huff, former assistant secretary of nuclear energy at the Department of Energy, recently wrote an op-ed that was published in Scientific American.
In the piece, Huff, who is an ANS member and an associate professor in the Department of Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering at the University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign, argues that weakening Nuclear Regulatory Commission radiation regulations without new research-based evidence will fail to speed up nuclear energy development and could have negative consequences.

This paper deals with the estimation of and of the PuPu redox couple in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt using statistical data fitting of experimental data. The value was also estimated in our laboratory at 723 and 773 K using logarithmic analysis of semi-integral voltammograms and chronopotentiograms. From semi-integral curves, was found to be −2.888 0.021 and −2.810 0.021 V at 723 and 773 K, respectively, whereas it was −2.851 0.020 V at 773 K from the analysis of chronopotentiograms. Based on subsequent statistical analysis, we recommend the following expressions for and applicable for the temperature range 673 to 823 K:andThe value in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt was estimated from calculated for the reactionusing FactSage package, and it was expressed as
