60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

A simple apparatus is used for the separation of the components of a mixture of CO, H2, and CH4. The separation of CO and CH4 by selective oxidation with CuO was studied with 14CH4. The 13C isotope fractionation during the oxidation of CO with I2O5 and with CuO, and during the elevated temperature oxidation of CH4 with CuO, and the tritium fraction during the oxidation of tritiated hydrogen with CuO are reported.
