Proposed FY 2027 DOE, NRC budgets ask for less
The White House is requesting $1.5 billion for the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy in the fiscal year 2027 budget proposal, about 9 percent less than the previous year.
The request from the Trump administration is one of several associated with nuclear energy in the proposal, which was released Friday. Congress still must review and vote on the budget.

A detailed model of the transport processes that produce concentrated solutions locally in pressurized water reactor steam generators has been developed. The model describes the heat, mass, and momentum transfer processes that occur in porous deposits such as those found in tube support and tubesheet crevices and in the sludge pile on top of the tubesheet. The model is used to predict the concentration of a species in the pore solution as a function of time and at steady state, and the model predictions are compared to available experimental data. Several parametric studies were performed with the model to identify important design and operating parameters.
