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.

Across-channel concentration and electrostatic potential distributions of the production of daughter atoms as a radioactive gas decays under the influence of charge variations have been considered for both a rectangular channel and cylindrical tube. Generalized backward differentiation, implicit, linear multistep formulas were utilized to obtain solutions at variations of parameter fields. It was found that a greater electric field intensity can be established in rectangular channels versus cylindrical tubes under identical charge parameterization.
