NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

For diagnostics of confined and escaping particles in burning plasma, we have proposed to apply the measurements of the gamma rays from D(,)6Li and 19F(,n)22Na nuclear reactions and verified the validity to the diagnostics by accelerator experiments. From our experiments, we obtained the properties of the emitted gamma rays and some prospects for the diagnostics on ITER-like plasma based on their measurements. This paper discusses the spectrum properties of the emitted gamma rays and their applications to particles diagnostics.
