DOE announces awards for three university nuclear education outreach programs
The Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy has announced more than $590,000 in funding awards to help three universities enhance their outreach in nuclear energy education. The awards, which are part of the DOE Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) University Reactor Sharing and Outreach Program, are primarily designed to provide students in K-12, vocational schools, and colleges with access to university research reactors in order to increase awareness of nuclear science, engineering, and technology and to foster early interest in nuclear energy-related careers.

An in-situ irradiation test of a fusion blanket is planned in JMTR (Japan Materials Testing Reactor) using lithium containing ceramics as the tritium breeder and beryllium as the neutron multiplier. Therefore, it is necessary to develop getters for the recovery of the tritium gas. In this study, Zr9Ni11 alloy was chosen as a getter, and pressure-composition isotherms between 20°C and 300°C, and other properties were measured for its application. The breakthrough test of hydrogen was carried out with Ar+H2 gas. The evaluation of the examined getter materials leads to the conclusion that the Zr9Ni11 alloy may be used for the in-situ irradiation test of fusion blanket.
