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.

In this paper, we formulate a new flux reconstruction method based on the High Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR) of the nodal flux shape. The method requires the conventional nodal parameters obtained as a result of the transverse-integration nodal solution procedure as well as corner values calculated by a combination of finite-volume and finite-difference approximations. The proposed flux reconstruction procedure is applicable to rectangular nodes and more than two energy groups. The flux reconstruction method is applied to a number of homogeneous and heterogeneous test problems in order to evaluate its accuracy.
