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 numerical results that have been obtained for various reactor characteristics using the generalized quasi-static approximation for the study of fast reactor transients are analyzed. This approximation leads to a set of coupled nonlinear mixed boundary initial value problems for “amplitude” and “shape” neutron fluxes that are solved with a Newton-successive over-relaxation algorithm. Some details are given on the time integration module. Comparisons are established with the results obtained by other codes.
