Division Spotlight
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

The extraction of 65Zn from falling liquid-metal drops of pure zinc and dilute zinc in lead alloys by fused-salt solutions of lead chloride and zinc chloride in the potassium chloride-lithium chloride eutectic has been investigated. Both chemical and isotopic exchange processes were found to be controlled by external mass transfer in the salt phase. The measured external resistances were comparable to those predicted by models based upon a rigid drop. Extraction in the pure zinc metal-lead chloride system appeared to proceed by a mechanism involving subchlorides as intermediates in the interfacial reaction.
