Argonne investigates industrial SMR applications for postwar Ukraine
Argonne National Laboratory will play a leading role in planning and rebuilding a nuclear-generated clean energy infrastructure for postwar Ukraine as part of the lab’s focus on developing small modular reactor applications to help countries meet energy security goals. The latest plans, described in a November 19 article, were announced on November 16 at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
The importance of D-3He reactor development in the attainment of attractive fusion energy is discussed. In addition to D-3He plasma physics and confinement issues, the use of low-activation wall materials and commercial production of 3He are vital issues for the successful achievement of a D-3He energy economy. These issues are discussed, and D-3He reactor features contrasted to deuterium-tritium and fission reactors.
