Bowen to lead new Office of Advanced Reactors
Jeremy Bowen will head the newly created Office of Advanced Reactors when it launches in September, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced Monday.
This new office will license and oversee new and advanced reactors. In his role, Bowen will be responsible for the review of advanced reactor applications—reviews that the NRC said will be “expeditious.”

The KATRIM computer code is presented. It calculates key values of tritium systems, especially those related to complete fuel cycles. First, a deterministic model is discussed. Then, a stochastic model is presented based on dynamic systems with different dynamic states, each with its own system of equations. Such an approach allows the modeling of reactors with different degrees of availability and/or different operational strategies. Results of simulations for different availabilities, variable frequencies of interruptions in reactor operation, and changing tritium burnup in the plasma are presented.
