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.

The separation performance of tritium by the thermal diffusion method with low inventory was simulated as an alternative method to the cryogenic distillation in Fusion Fuel Cycle. The separation performance of thermal diffusion method was evaluated by the ternary transport equations with isotope exchange reaction. The results for HT - H2 system, show the isotope exchange reaction, H2 + T2 = 2HT, plays an important role in the separation performance of tritium, even in a tracer level of tritium.
