New England governors announce joint support for nuclear energy
Millstone’s two pressurized water reactors in Waterford, Conn., and Seabrook’s single PWR in Seabrook, N.H., are the only power reactors in operation in the New England region, with total capacities at Millstone and Seabrook of 2,122 and 1,248 Net MWe, respectively.
The region’s governors, though, may seek to expand these numbers. The governors of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont issued a joint statement in support of exploring next-generation nuclear energy technologies. The bipartisan announcement also urges continued support for local nuclear facilities like Millstone and Seabrook.

HYLIFE-II reactor uses molten salt Flibe as the liquid blanket material. The property of its gaseous state was poorly known for gas dynamics calculations and other design problems. This study presents two fitted equations of state of the Flibe gas to meet the needs. The fitted range covers both dissociation and ionization regions. The methods used for fitting allow good agreement between the calculated data and fitted equations.
