Can hydrogen be the transportation fuel in an otherwise nuclear economy?
Let’s face it: The global economy should be powered primarily by nuclear power. And it probably will by the end of this century, with a still-significant assist from renewables and hydro. Once nuclear systems are dominant, the costs come down to where gas is now; and when carbon emissions are reduced to a small portion of their present state, it will become obvious that most other sources are only good in niche settings. I mean, why use small modular reactors to load-follow when they can just produce that power instead of buffering it?
Workshop
Thursday, April 13, 2023|8:30–11:30AM EDT|Salon DE
This event is sponsored by URENCO.
Hosted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Students will utilize a minimal Design Information Questionnaire to perform a Diversion Path Analysis (DPA) for B-Reactor. They will then determine misuse scenarios at B-reactor, including possible equipment that may be misused.
Utilizing generic objectives, students will develop Technical Objectives for the diversion paths they identified. Students will then devise a safeguards approach based on their TO’s by identifying specific measures.
Time: 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Location: Salon DE
Cost: $0
Attendees: 40
