Scientists at the US Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) are investigating tungsten heavy alloys as possible materials for use in advanced nuclear fusion reactors. Before fusion energy can be used as a power source, it will be necessary to develop advanced nuclear fusion reactors that can withstand the high temperatures and irradiation conditions that result from fusion reactions.

The state-owned company said it has completed a feasibility study related to uranium recovery and has decided to start preparing operations for uranium recovery.
Terrafame said its production process enables the low concentration of natural uranium found in the ore to be used as a by-product.
The company has a uranium recovery plant which is being prepared for operational use.
The preparations will require investments of approximately €20m ($21m) with the plant expected to operate at full capacity of around 200 tonnes a year in 2026.
