IAEA promoting nuclear energy with G20
The International Atomic Energy Agency launched a collaboration with the Group of 20 this week to highlight the key role that nuclear energy can play in achieving energy security and climate-change goals.
The aim of this first-of-its-kind partnership with G20—the world’s largest economic group—is to build momentum for nuclear power. This is the first time the IAEA has presented to G20 on issues relating to nuclear power.

The critical heat flux (CHF) of subcooled water flow boiling for a high length/diameter (L/d) region is systematically measured for the flow velocities (u = 6.93 to 13.32 m/s), the outlet subcoolings (Tsub,out = 12.5 to 113 K), the inlet subcoolings (Tsub,in = 45 to 148.7 K), the outlet pressure (Pout = 773.50 to 861.12 kPa), and the inlet pressure (Pin = 796.16 to 920.07 kPa). Type 304 stainless steel tubes of inner diameter (d = 2 mm) and heated lengths (L = 21.5, 79.45, and 149.7 mm) with L/d = 10.75, 39.73, and 74.85 are used. The CHF correlation against outlet subcooling including the effect of L/d already presented by the authors describes the CHF obtained in this work within a 15% difference. However, the correlation against inlet subcooling also presented by the authors in the same papers needs a small modification to describe the CHF obtained in this work for a high L/d range. The modified correlation describes not only the experimental data for L/d up to 75 on the 2-mm tube but also the CHF for the same range of L/d on larger diameter tubes predicted by the correlation against outlet subcooling within a 15% difference.
