Here is a recap of recent industry happenings:
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.

It is often desirable to solve the two-dimensional multigroup transport equation for (r-z) geometries directly given by hydrodynamic calculations. Usually, only Monte Carlo codes can compute α or k eigenvalues on such geometries. Most deterministic codes use an orthogonal mesh or restrict the mesh to a regular triangular grid. Other methods were developed at Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique and Los Alamos National Laboratory but do not solve the problem of sliding between two Lagrangian blocks. Thus, a production code has been developed that solves these problems and is able to obtain α or k eigenvalues with a good degree of accuracy for such geometries.
