Mike Kramer: Navigating power deals in the new data economy
Mike Kramer has a background in finance, not engineering, but a combined 20 years at Exelon and Constellation and a key role in the deals that have Meta and Microsoft buying power from Constellation’s Clinton and Crane sites have made him something of a nuclear expert.
Kramer spoke with Nuclear News staff writer Susan Gallier in late August, just after a visit to Clinton in central Illinois to celebrate a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Meta that closed in June. As Constellation’s vice president for data economy strategy, Kramer was part of the deal-making—not just the celebration.

Rigorous and accurate simulation of Liquid Phase Catalytic Exchange (LPCE) is required for water detritiation process design and analysis. The Two-Fluid model simulates exchange between gas and liquid using an overall mass transfer coefficient model. The Three-Fluid model simulates liquid/vapor and vapor/gas mass transfer explicitly with separate mass transfer coefficients. Both Two-Fluid and Three-Fluid models are presented. The Two-Fluid model combines liquid and vapor flow, resulting in accuracy close to the more rigorous Three-Fluid model. Mass transfer coefficients are estimated from Maxwell-Stefan theory of multicomponent diffusion across films at the liquid/vapor and catalyst interfaces.
