SuperCritical Materials licenses technology for uranium seawater extraction
Last week, Austin, Texas–based nuclear fuel start-up SuperCritical Materials announced that it has secured a license from the Department of Energy for a patented uranium and critical materials adsorbent manufacturing process originally developed by a team led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
SuperCritical aims to use this license to extract uranium from seawater at an industrial scale in the United States and abroad.

A computer program was developed using the MATLAB programming language to simulate the electronics readout for a radiation detector system. The function of each stage of this system is described by a mathematical model in the Laplace domain. The electrical signals have been shown and analyzed at two main outputs of the system. They are described according to their related circuit parameters. The obtained results of the simulation can be used to achieve a best design of the concerned circuits and to provide appropriate details about the system operation. Validation of the simulated signals by comparison with available experimental results has been achieved.
