Panelists discuss U.S. path to criticality in ANS webinar
The American Nuclear Society recently hosted a panel discussion featuring prominent figures from the nuclear sector who discussed the industry’s ongoing push for criticality.
Yasir Arafat, chief technical officer of Aalo Atomics; Jordan Bramble, CEO of Antares Nuclear; and Rita Baranwal, chief nuclear officer of Radiant Industries, participated in the discussion and covered their recent progress in the Department of Energy’s Reactor Pilot Program. Nader Satvat, director of nuclear systems design at Kairos Power, gave an update on the company’s ongoing demonstration projects taking place outside of the landscape of DOE authorization.

The present study clarifies feasibility of a new concept for the Flibe blanket system with Cesium from the thermonuclear viewpoint. Through this study it was revealed at first that the melting temperature of Flibe can be lowered with adding the CsF. And then the tritium breeding ratio when 137Cs was mixed in the Flibe was evaluated by using the neutron transport calculation code of MVP. The numerical results indicate that the TBR decreases gradually by adding Cs substituted for Beryllium.
