Standard Nuclear executes OTA with DOE
Reactor-agnostic TRISO fuel producer Standard Nuclear recently announced that it has executed an other transaction agreement (OTA) with the Department of Energy. As one of the five companies involved in the DOE’s Fuel Line Pilot Program, its entrance into this deal marks a milestone in the public-private effort to bring advanced fuel production on line in support of the DOE’s concurrently running Reactor Pilot Program.

This work focuses on the comparison between the results obtained by gamma-ray tomography (experimental) and the FLUENT code (simulation). The physical property targeted here is the void distribution in the riser leg of a mercury-nitrogen flow system. Multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (MART) algorithms have been used for the tomographic image reconstruction. A comparison of the predicted and the experimental results shows that experimental numbers are consistently lower than FLUENT predictions.
