Supply chain contract signed for Aurora
Oklo, the California-based developer of the Aurora Powerhouse sodium-cooled fast-neutron reactor, has signed a contract with Siemens Energy that is meant to de-risk supply chain and production timeline challenges for Oklo. Under the terms, Siemens will design and deliver the power conversion system for the Powerhouse, which is to be deployed at Idaho National Laboratory.

A Monte Carlo code, MORSE-CV, which can calculate the covariance of the scalar neutron flux spectrum, was developed. Integral values and their variances calculated from the spectrum and its covariance were compared with the corresponding values calculated directly using the Monte Carlo method. The integral value calculated from the spectrum agreed well with the directly calculated value. Their standard deviations also agreed well with each other when the spectral correlation between different energies was treated correctly. When the correlation was ignored, the deviation was about one-half of the former value.
