Deployable Energy achieves criticality at INL
Ahead of the July 4 deadline set by President Trump in Executive Order 14301, the nuclear community has been following the developments of the Department of Energy’s Reactor Pilot Program, in which companies have been pursuing DOE authorization to build and test their first-of-a-kind nuclear technologies. The EO set an ambitious goal of three reactors achieving criticality by July 4, 2026.

Possibility of a real-time tritium monitoring in high-energy accelerator facilities is examined using a polyimide hollow-filament type membrane module. Enrichment characteristics of hydrogen isotopes in nitrogen and water in dry-air were measured extensively, and a computer simulation using the simplified model for the gas separation was also performed. The experimental results showed that the polyimide membrane module could enrich significantly hydrogen isotopes and water vapor from nitrogen and dry air. It is concluded from these experimental results that using the membrane module could be useful for the real-time tritium monitoring.
