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.

The diffusion synthetic acceleration method is developed for arbitrary weighted diamond-differencing schemes in general rectangular-mesh Cartesian geometry problems and is Fourier analyzed to determine its stability and convergence properties. The spectral radius is computed to be ∼0.25 for all meshes, angular quadrature sets, and spatial weights, for one-, two-, and three-dimensional problems.
