EPA administrator Lee Zeldin talks the future of nuclear
In a recent interview on New York radio station 77 WABC, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin talked with host John Catsimatidis about the near-term future of the domestic nuclear industry and the role the EPA will play in the sector.
Catsimatidis kicked off the interview by asking if the U.S. will be able to reach total energy independence. Zeldin responded by saying that decreasing energy dependence on other countries, especially adversaries, was a top priority for him and the Trump administration.

Experimental study for hydrogen isotope separation by thermal diffusion has been performed by using a single column and four interlinked columns. The dependence of the separation factor Q on the pressure was examined for single column operation with H-D (H2/ D2 ≈ 52/48), H-T (H2 / T2 ≈ 50/50) and D-T (D2 / T2 ≈ 80/20) systems where the hot wire temperature selected was 1273K. The optimum pressure observed was 93kPa for H-T, and 106kPa for H-D and D-T systems. The four columns were interlinked to function as a single column under the total reflux mode, and were operated with H-T at the optimum pressure observed in the single column experiments. The composition distributions experimentally observed were in close agreement with calculated results of the single column operation which is four times as high as each column.
