Nano Nuclear wins Air Force contract for Kronos MMR
New York City–based advanced nuclear technology developer Nano Nuclear Energy has been awarded a Direct-to-Phase II Small Business Innovation Research contract for its Kronos micro modular reactor (MMR) by AFWERX, the innovation and venture arm of the U.S. Air Force. The contract calls for AFWERX, with the 11th Civil Engineering Squadron, to explore the feasibility of deploying the Kronos MMR Energy System at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) in Washington, D.C.

This paper presents experiments carried out to study the influences of transverse vibration on horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flow. The experiments considered the transverse vibration over a wide range of vibration frequencies and vibration amplitudes. Five typical flow regimes were observed. The fluid flow conditions in steady state and transverse vibration were compared. The traditional flow regime transition lines did not match the gas-liquid flow in channel under transverse vibration. The results suggest that vibration frequency mainly affected the flow regime by promoting the aggregation of gas slug, while vibration amplitude mainly influenced the fluctuation height of the gas and liquid interface.
