Disney World should have gone nuclear
There is extra significance to the American Nuclear Society holding its annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, this past week. That’s because in 1967, the state of Florida passed a law allowing Disney World to build a nuclear power plant.

In order to improve the efficiency in gas chromatographic isotope separation technology, porous SiC supporting palladium-platinum (Pd-Pt) alloy as a column material was developed. It was confirmed that the utilization of the column material developed enabled higher recovery yield of 90 % and the higher purity of 97 % for deuterium isotopic separation comparing with the method using conventional column materials such as the mixture of Pd-Pt alloy filler under 100 mesh and Cu powder from 40 to 80 mesh.
