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.

Overview of National Tritium Program | doi.org/10.13182/FST92-A29749
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
Tritium technology in the United States has advanced considerably since the 1988 Tritium Conference in Toronto. This advance has come in facilities, processing, and safety related technologies and in an ever increasing commitment to compliance related issues. The major laboratories in the U. S. tritium programs continue to be (Westinghouse) Savannah River Site, EG&G Mound, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Each of these Laboratories have made some significant changes in their programs and/or facilities in the past four years.
