Abstract

In an unexpected setback for U.S. neutron scientists, two New York legislators said this week that they will introduce a bill prohibiting the Department of Energy (DOE) from reopening the troubled High-Flux Beam Reactor (HFBR) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York. DOE officials described the surprise announcement by Senator Alfonse D9Amato (R-NY) and Representative Michael Forbes (R-NY) as a major setback to their efforts to repair and eventually upgrade the reactor, which had been leaking tritium.
