U.K. releases new plans to speed nuclear deployment
In an effort to revamp its nuclear sector and enable the buildout of new projects, the U.K. has unveiled a sweeping set of changes to project deployment. These changes, which are set to come into effect by the end of next year, will restructure the country’s regulatory and environmental approval framework and directly support new growth through various workforce efforts.

In a basic study on reducing a conventional atmospheric detritiation system (ADS) to a small one, performances of H2(+HT), H2O(+HTO), and N2 (or air) permeating through a gas separation membrane (GSM) module were numerically analyzed. The calculations were carried out in (3 × 2 + 1) patterns of cross, countercurrent, and cocurrent flows based on the differential and plate models and the complete mixing flow. Previous experimental results of the H2/H2O/N2(air) three-component system were found to be well correlated by the differential cross-flow model. Applications of the GSM to the ADS were investigated, and the effectiveness of using the GSM in place of the first detritiation system of the ADS was discussed.
