CNL investigates alloy with potential reactor applications
A research team led by Canadian Nuclear Laboratories is studying a type of high-entropy alloy (HEA) that seems to withstand a cascade-involved irradiation environment at elevated temperatures better than stainless steel exposed to similar conditions. In a paper published in the Journal of Nuclear Materials, the researchers describe an HEA made of chromium, iron, manganese, and nickel (CrFeMnNi) that has the potential to improve the safety and functionality of nuclear reactors, as well as of spacecraft.

How healthy is the Large Electric Motor Program at your station or fleet? We all know that large motors play a key role in reliable plant operations, but is the large electric motor program that supports these motors getting the appropriate attention? This session will discuss recent large electric motors consequential events and their impact, challenges utilities are facing in ensuring the motor reliability, and how the large electric motor program provides the framework to enable success. Utility success stories will also be discussed for industry benchmarking. Learn about how the industry is responding to recent challenges and trends in motor health and how to stay on top of reliable motor performance. Participants: EPRI
