Judge temporarily blocks DOE’s move to slash university research funding
A group of universities led by the American Association of Universities (AAU) acted swiftly to oppose a policy action by the Department of Energy that would cut the funds it pays to universities for the indirect costs of research under DOE grants. The group filed suit Monday, April 14, challenging a what it termed a “flagrantly unlawful action” that could “devastate scientific research at America’s universities.”
By Wednesday, the U.S. District Court judge hearing the case issued a temporary restraining order effective nationwide, preventing the DOE from implementing the policy or terminating any existing grants.

An evaluation is presented of the gas dynamic trap (GDT) mirror machine as intense neutron source for fusion material test irradiations. This includes an assessment of the neutronics characteristics of the GDT as compared to future fusion reactor systems (ITER, Demo) and the IFMIF neutron source as well as a detailed design of a helium-cooled test assembly elaborated for the largest of the two material test zones taking proper account of neutronics, thermal-hydraulic and mechanical aspects.
