NECX debut: Shaping the next era of energy
The sold-out inaugural Nuclear Energy Conference & Expo (NECX) got off to a bumping start in Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday morning with an opening plenary that felt like part dance party and part highlight reel showing off the latest industry achievements.
That intro left the audience pumped up for Entergy’s CEO and NEI chair Drew Marsh, who welcomed everyone to the event, hosted jointly by the American Nuclear Society and the Nuclear Energy Institute. He spoke to a full house of more than 1,300 attendees, promising a blend of science, technology, policy, and advocacy centered around the future of nuclear energy.

Three corrosion resistant uranium base alloys were corrosion-tested in high temperature water: U-5% Zr-1½% Nb, U-3% Nb-0.5% Sn, and U-3.8% Si. Only the U-3.8% Si alloy retained any degree of corrosion resistance after burnups in excess of 0.1 at. %. Low burnup did not adversely affect the corrosion resistance of the diffusion bond between U-2% Zr alloy and its Zircalloy-2 cladding.
