Knoxville’s nuclear workshop opens with a full house and a long to-do list
The East Tennessee Economic Council’s Nuclear Opportunities Workshop opened yesterday morning at the Knoxville Convention Center, drawing registrants from around the country, and will close later today following a packed lineup of policy and industry leaders.

Three major series of experiments have been conducted with the FELIX facility at ANL. Experiments on the coupling between eddy currents and angular displacements of loops and plates in crossed constant and changing magnetic fields demonstrated that the coupling effects reduced the peak currents and deflections. These experiments were carried out by a team of investigators from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and ANL and are reported elsewhere. Experiments measuring eddy current effects in flat plates provided data to validate 2-D and 3-D eddy current computer codes. Experiments measuring eddy current effects in hollow cylinders with different ratios of thickness to diameter explored the limitations of using 2-D codes to model 3-D geometries. The plate and cylinder experiments are described in detail.
