Modernizing I&C for operations and maintenance, one phase at a time
The two reactors at Dominion Energy’s Surry plant are among the oldest in the U.S. nuclear fleet. Yet when the plant celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2023, staff could raise a toast to the future. Surry was one of the first plants to file a subsequent license renewal (SLR) application, and in May 2021, it became official: the plant was licensed to operate for a full 80 years, extending its reactors’ lifespans into 2052 and 2053.

We have prepared a new, fusion-oriented library of multigroup neutron cross sections, scattering matrices, and covariances (uncertainties and correlations) using modules of the NJOY nuclear data processing system. This 74-group library, called COVFILS-2, was produced specifically for use in the sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of fusion-relevant integral experiments. The 14 materials included in the first version of COVFILS-2 are H, 6Li, 7Li, Be, C, N, O, Na, Al, Si, Cr, Fe, Ni, and Pb.
