A wave of new U.S.-U.K. deals ahead of Trump’s state visit
President Trump will arrive in the United Kingdom this week for a state visit that promises to include the usual pomp and ceremony alongside the signing of a landmark new agreement on U.S.-U.K. nuclear collaboration.

T retention and its depth profile in the graphite tiles used for first wall of JT-60U have been measured by a tritium imaging plate technique and a full combustion method. T was found only limited depth beneath the plasma facing surface and little in both the surface region shallow than 1 m and in bulk more than 1mm in depth. Although most of T produced by DD reactions are thermalized and neutralized in plasma and impinge on the plasma facing surface and penetrate into the inner surface, they are isotopically replaced by subsequently incoming D. Only some of high energy T escaping from plasma are directly implanted beneath the surface and retained escaping from the isotopic replacement until attainment of a saturation concentration.
