Powering the future: How the DOE is fueling nuclear fuel cycle research and development
As global interest in nuclear energy surges, the United States must remain at the forefront of research and development to ensure national energy security, advance nuclear technologies, and promote international cooperation on safety and nonproliferation. A crucial step in achieving this is analyzing how funding and resources are allocated to better understand how to direct future research and development. The Department of Energy has spearheaded this effort by funding hundreds of research projects across the country through the Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP). This initiative has empowered dozens of universities to collaborate toward a nuclear-friendly future.

A dryout model, based on the drift-flux approach to the separated two-phase countercurrent flow system with interfacial momentum transfer due to interphase friction, is derived in terms of a zero-dimensional and quasi-equilibrium form. The predictions of dryout heat flux in a large-particle debris bed within an overlying pool of saturated water and with complete blockage underneath are compared with various models and with the experimental results, which are available from the literature. The comparisons demonstrate the adequacy of the presented methodology.
