NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

An attempt was made to replicate electrochemical and gas-load cold fusion neutron counts. The best results for electrolysis were counts of 2.5 times background for 45 min. The cold fusion rate was found to be <2.09 × 10−22 fusion/(d-d)·s−1. For the gas-load method, an effect was seen twice, with neutron counts on the order of 3 to 4 times background over 1.5 h. The search for excess tritium in the heavy water from the electrolytic cells proved negative. However, mass spectroscopy of the D2 gas before and after the gas-load experiments indicated a change in the mass 3 to mass 2 ratio from 0.53 to 1.66.
