Panelists discuss U.S. path to criticality in ANS webinar
The American Nuclear Society recently hosted a panel discussion featuring prominent figures from the nuclear sector who discussed the industry’s ongoing push for criticality.
Yasir Arafat, chief technical officer of Aalo Atomics; Jordan Bramble, CEO of Antares Nuclear; and Rita Baranwal, chief nuclear officer of Radiant Industries, participated in the discussion and covered their recent progress in the Department of Energy’s Reactor Pilot Program. Nader Satvat, director of nuclear systems design at Kairos Power, gave an update on the company’s ongoing demonstration projects taking place outside of the landscape of DOE authorization.

Neutron parameters were measured in Phase-I experiments of JAERI/USDOE collaborative program. A brief description of the experimental systems and measuring techniques is given. The range of measured source neutron spectrum is from a few keV to 16 MeV by the use of proton-recoil counters and a small NE213 spectrometer. Tritium production rates were measured by on-line and integral type techniques. The in-system scalar spectra were measured by the NE213 spectrometer. Foil activation method was applied to obtain the reaction rate distributions.
