Nuke graphite - a decade of tests needed,1000s of samples
Here is a hand article for those For those who actually believe Chief's assurances that CCB admittedly excellent purity numbers makes it number one for nuclear and that it probably will corner the market and sell for $20K US plus per tonne and that the money will start pouring in fairly soon and it is all so simple...
This article. looks in detail about CCL work with Oak to test graphite samples for nuclear use. So many companies chasing - all of which apparently meet purity standards or why bother with this exercise. right? So many tests to be done, so many years - a decade actually - needed to complete the work. Suspect the smart money has already knows this, hence the SP levels. "The Advanced Graphite Capsule experiment and beyond: The CCL began operating about 18 months ago. Its chief task is to characterize more than 3,000 graphite samples for the AGC, which is looking at graphite specifically for use in the proposed NGNP. This work will keep the CCL and Oak Ridge's LAMDA facility busy for the next decade. It will take that long for the six different AGC experiments to work their way through the ATR and all the various characterization steps. But the CCL can also take on other projects at the same time, and there is no shortage of potential collaborators." https://inlportal.inl.gov/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=1269&mode=2&featurestory=DA_528878
