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.

Gamma-ray energy deposition measurements were made in a simulated fast reactor blanket of the Purdue University Fast Breeder Blanket Facility (FBBF) using CaF2:Dy thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). The TLDs were encased in either stainless steel or lead sleeves, and cavity ionization theory corrections known as f factors were used to relate the TLD dose to the sleeve dose. Corrections for the neutron response of the TLDs were made by determining the relative contributions of the TLDs neutron and gamma-ray responses.
