Proposed FY 2027 DOE, NRC budgets ask for less
The White House is requesting $1.5 billion for the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy in the fiscal year 2027 budget proposal, about 9 percent less than the previous year.
The request from the Trump administration is one of several associated with nuclear energy in the proposal, which was released Friday. Congress still must review and vote on the budget.

In the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror, neutral hydrogen densities in the central-cell and anchor-cell have been estimated by measuring spatial profiles of H line-emission with absolutely calibrated H line-emission detectors. Absolute measurements of H line-emission enable us to evaluate the neutral density based on the collisional-radiative model. Recently, single channel H line-emission detectors were installed in plug/barrier cells, where the axial confining potentials are produced by electron cyclotron resonance heating. We studied the neutral particle behavior in the plug/barrier cells for the first time using the newly installed H line-emission detectors. Moreover we have designed and installed a multi-channel H line-emission detector system to study the neutral hydrogen behavior in the plug/barrier cell.
