There was a time the US where the idea of expanding use of Nuclear energy was so politically unpopular that very few leaders would suggest it for fear of being attached by environmental groups. Fear of disasters from very real accidents such as Three Mile Island and Chernobyl remained fresh in everyone’s mind. Now as [...] The University of Maryland has received a $10.3 million federal grant to build an advanced physics lab. Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, a Southern Maryland Democrat, said the federal economic stimulus dollars will expand research and create jobs. The university plans to use the money to build a 21,000-square-foot Laboratory for Advanced Quantum Science. The underground [...] On Monday, October 26, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science will host a Symposium on Accelerators for America’s Future in Washington, DC. The symposium–drawing participants from science, industry, medicine, and the national security community–will focus on challenges and opportunities in maximizing the potential of next-generation accelerator technologies to energize the U.S. economy, strengthen [...] The American Nuclear Society (ANS) presented the awards Thursday evening at the international conference on Inertial Fusion Science Applications (IFSA) in San Francisco. Moses was cited for his “leadership in the development and completion of the National Ignition Facility” (NIF). As principal associate director for NIF and Photon Science at Lawrence Livermore (LLNL), Moses is leading [...] Vienna, Austria – U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu and South African Minister of Energy Dipuo Peters signed a bilateral Agreement on Cooperation in Research and Development of Nuclear Energy on September 14 in Vienna. This Agreement will facilitate cooperation in the areas of advanced nuclear energy systems and reactor technology. The two countries will [...] The search for more efficient fuels for nuclear reactors has received a nearly $1.2 million boost in the form of a U.S. Department of Energy grant to a research team headed by a UC Davis physics professor. The team will develop computer-driven models that will allow theoretical manipulation of the fuels and their behavior from [...] The U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory will receive a two-year federal grant of $13.8 million as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The grant, which was announced Tuesday, Aug. 4, by DOE, includes $8.8 million for a variety of initiatives in fusion energy research and $5 million for infrastructure improvements [...] Since we are on the topic of Nuclear energy here is the latest scorecard from the U.S. Deparment of Energy. Nuclear Power Deployment Scorecard Powering Future Decades Current Scorecard – July 14, 2009 INL IDAHO FALLS – Employees at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory recently reached an important milestone in developing the nation’s next generation of nuclear reactors by the completion of the first of six planned Advanced Graphite Capsule (AGC) tests. A critical step in developing new Very High Temperature Reactors (VHTR) is certifying the [...] EDF Energy today held a supply chain event in London for UK contractors. Entitled “New Nuclear Opportunities”, it highlights the company’s plans to invest in new nuclear power stations in the UK and the role that British businesses will have to help deliver the investment. Energy Minister, Lord Hunt, delivered the keynote address on the subject [...] |
