Fusion office bill introduced in line with DOE reorganization plan
Cornyn
Padilla
Sens. Alex Padilla (D., Calif.) and John Cornyn (R., Texas) have introduced bipartisan legislation to formally establish the Office of Fusion at the Department of Energy. This move seeks to codify one of the many changes put forward by the recent internal reorganization plan for offices at the DOE.
Companion legislation has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Reps. Don Beyer (D., Va.) and Jay Obernolte (R., Calif.), who are cochairs of the House Fusion Energy Caucus.
Details: According to Obernolte, “Congress must provide clear direction and a coordinated federal strategy to move fusion from the lab to the grid, and this legislation does exactly that.”

A correlation technique has been developed to make the accuracy of complex and long-running resonance treatments available in fast, routine calculations. The technique is based on the subgroup method and is used to generate group-averaged resonance reaction rates. By fitting the correlation to several detailed auxiliary resonance calculations, a set of weights (the Lebesgue measure) is obtained. The weights can then be applied to a wider range of new cases. Use of the correlation technique results in one-tenth the computational burden of the detailed resonance treatment, yet the results duplicate the detailed calculations to within 0.01% in keff.
