Nuclear Fusion 19 - Management Problems At The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor

        I have done several blog posts on nuclear fusion research. I posted one article on the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project. ITER is a huge project to build a tokamak nuclear fusion reactor in order to move from purely experimental fusion research to an actual system to generate electricity that could be a prototype for commercial power reactors.

Nuclear Reactors 253 - Arguments Over Rechartering the U.S. Export-Import Bank to Aid Nuclear Exports

          The U.S. Export-Import Bank was created in 1934 by an executive order of the President. Its purpose is "financing and insuring foreign purchases of United States goods for customers unable or unwilling to accept credit risk. The mission of the Bank is to create and sustain U.S. jobs by financing sales of U.S. exports to international buyers." Its charter was last extended to June 30th, 2015.

Nuclear Reactors 252 - Selecting Reactor Designs for Australia

        John Quiggin is an Australian economics professor at the University of Queensland. He recently posted an article on his blog that he intends to ultimately submit to the Southern Royal Commission considering the nuclear fuel cycle. The proposed submission contains his analysis of the best choices for nuclear reactor technology if Australia wants to add nuclear reactors to the national grid.
