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.

As a part of design study of candidate DEMO blanket in Japan, evaluations of tritium permeation in solid breeder blankets cooled by supercritical water was performed. The evaluations were performed under detail design of the blankets with nuclear and thermal analyses. F82H was selected as the structural material and the temperature of cooling tubes in the tritium breeder zone was evaluated between 673K and 783K. In this temperature range, tritium permeation rate through the cooling tubes in tritium breeder zone was evaluated and also tritium permeation into the first wall cooling water by the implantation of tritium particle was evaluated. In addition, requirements for preventing tritium permeation into the cooling water have been examined.
