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.

In devices such as Stellarator/Heliotron, nested magnetic surfaces are surrounded by the so-called separatrix layer, which consists of open field lines with various connection length to the vacuum chamber wall and/or divertor plates. In this paper, we study the strike point distribution of field lines on Compact Helical System chamber wall, especially under divertor configuration. Then, by using these distribution as the measure of neutral recycling source, Monte Carlo simulation of 3-D neutral transport is done. The results are compared with those obtained for different magnetic configuration.
