Bipartisan bill aims to promote nuclear fusion development
Curtis
Cantwell
Sens. Maria Cantwell (D., Wash.) and John Curtis (R., Utah) have introduced a bill that would enable nuclear fusion energy technologies to have access to the federal advanced manufacturing production tax credit.
The companion version of the bill was introduced in the House by Reps. Carol Miller (R., W.Va.), Suzan DelBene (D., Wash.), Claudia Tenney (R., N.Y.), and Don Beyer (D., Va.)
The Fusion Advanced Manufacturing Parity Act extends the federal advanced manufacturing production credit (45X) by adding a 25 percent tax credit for companies that are domestically manufacturing fusion energy components.

Three new difference schemes for solving the neutron transport equation are presented. In some situations these new methods give smoother results than the diamond difference scheme, without sacrificing second-order accuracy. Iteration schemes for solving the new difference equations are given, and convergence acceleration devices are discussed. Numerical results illustrate the behavior of these new schemes in a variety of situations.
