A step toward the production of fuel for nuclear fusion
Masaru Nakamichi, leader of the Blanket Technology Group, Naka Fusion Institute, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA, Ibaraki, Japan; www.naka.jaea.go.jp) has developed a new fabrication technology that enables the mass-production of beryllium intermetallic compounds (beryllides), which are advanced, efficient neutron multipliers that could be used for nuclear fusion reactors. JEAE is said to be the first to...

Improved solvent extraction for nuclear-waste-contaminated water
Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA; Ibaraki, www.jaea.go.jp) has enhanced the efficiency of a solvent-extraction process to separate organic solvents from water contaminated by radioactive waste. JAEA was able to reduce the toluene concentration from 5,000 parts per million (ppm) to below 10 ppm, which is below the...

Plans move forward for the first U.S. uranium plant in 30 years
Energy Fuels Inc. (Lakewood, Colo.; www.energyfuels.com) has been granted a radioactive materials license by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for the first uranium mill to be built in the U.S. in 30 years. Energy Fuels says the approval of the license is “the most significant hurdle” to be passed before it builds the Piñon Ridge Mill near Naturita, Colo. The...
