The U.S. and Slovakia sign a new nuclear deal
On January 16, Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico signed an intergovernmental agreement to cooperate on the development of Slovakia’s civil nuclear power program. This agreement spans a variety of civil nuclear activities, but especially notable is the inclusion of a plan to develop an American 1,200-MWe commercial power reactor at Bohunice nuclear power plant.

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.
