EPA administrator Lee Zeldin talks the future of nuclear
In a recent interview on New York radio station 77 WABC, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin talked with host John Catsimatidis about the near-term future of the domestic nuclear industry and the role the EPA will play in the sector.
Catsimatidis kicked off the interview by asking if the U.S. will be able to reach total energy independence. Zeldin responded by saying that decreasing energy dependence on other countries, especially adversaries, was a top priority for him and the Trump administration.

An investigation of iodine absorption on ion exchange resins in aqueous electrolyte solutions has been performed. For I- and I ions, the distribution coefficients are inversely proportional to the electrolyte concentration in solutions, whereas the adsorption of HIO with ion exchange resins is independent of electrolyte concentration in solutions. The mechanism of HIO adsorption is believed to be surface matrix adsorption rather than the ion exchange process. The distribution coefficients for HIO measured at both 20 and 56°C are nearly constant, whereas the coefficients for I- and I ions are approximately a factor of 100 smaller at the higher temperature. The distribution coefficients for I- ions in water are generally on the order of 104, which is approximately three to five times larger than that for I- ions. The half-time of the exchange reaction for I ions with the strong acid resin in water at 20°C is ∼50 s, compared to ∼90 s for I ions. Some experimental data obtained in an operating boiling water reactor have also been reported.
