Supreme Court declines to hear case involving St. Louis contamination
The Supreme Court of the United States on Monday declined to hear an appeal from General Atomics subsidiary Cotter Corporation and Commonwealth Edison, an Exelon company, in a case over alleged radioactive contamination in the St. Louis, Mo., area, leaving in place an 8th Circuit Court ruling that allows the plaintiffs’ state-law tort claims to proceed under the federal Price-Anderson Act.

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.
