Hawaii report recommends against nuclear development
A nuclear energy working group convened by the Hawaii State Energy Office (HSEO) and tasked with investigating the feasibility of bringing nuclear to the state recently released a report that concluded that—for now—nuclear is not right for Hawaii.
The bill: The HSEO was ordered to convene a nuclear energy working group by state Senate Concurrent Resolution 136, which was passed during last year’s legislative session. The task force was specifically charged with investigating the feasibility of advanced nuclear power technologies in the state, along with identifying barriers to and risks associated with deploying those technologies. Those benefits and risks were far reaching in scope, including regulatory, statutory, financial, social, and environmental factors.

Built on top of the MOOSE Framework, which solves partial differential equations important to fuel performance via the finite element method (energy conservation, stress divergence, and species migration), BISON adds specific fuel constitutive and behavioral models designed to represent the response of fuel and cladding/structural layers in a variety of fuel designs and reactor types. This workshop will serve to introduce users to the BISON code system by building basic examples to help them get started with fuel performance analysis.
