Judge temporarily blocks DOE’s move to slash university research funding
A group of universities led by the American Association of Universities (AAU) acted swiftly to oppose a policy action by the Department of Energy that would cut the funds it pays to universities for the indirect costs of research under DOE grants. The group filed suit Monday, April 14, challenging a what it termed a “flagrantly unlawful action” that could “devastate scientific research at America’s universities.”
By Wednesday, the U.S. District Court judge hearing the case issued a temporary restraining order effective nationwide, preventing the DOE from implementing the policy or terminating any existing grants.

This paper describes removal and control of tritium of liquid lithium (Li) target for IFMIF. To produce intense neutrons, 40 MeV deuteron beam with a current of 250 mA is injected into a liquid Li flow with a speed of 20 m/s. D-Li reaction produces tritium with a production rate of 7 g/y. Tritium in Li is removed by a hot trap with an yttrium getter and controlled less than 0.65 appm. As an option, a swamping method with a cold trap is investigated.
