The newest era of workforce development at ANS
As most attendees of this year’s ANS Annual Conference left breakfast in the Grand Ballroom of the Chicago Downtown Marriott to sit in on presentations covering everything from career pathways in fusion to recently digitized archival nuclear films, 40 of them made their way to the hotel’s fifth floor to take part in the second offering of Nuclear 101, a newly designed certification course that seeks to give professionals who are in or adjacent to the industry an in-depth understanding of the essentials of nuclear energy and engineering from some of the field’s leading experts.

The Korea nuclear industry has been developing the thermal-hydraulic system analysis Safety and Performance Analysis CodE (SPACE) and the GAs Multicomponent Mixture Analysis (GAMMA) code for safety analysis of pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), respectively. SPACE will replace outdated vendor-supplied codes and will be used for the safety analysis of operating PWRs and for the design of an advanced PWR. SPACE consists of up-to-date physical models of two-phase flow dealing with multidimensional two-fluid, three-field flow. GAMMA consists of multidimensional governing equations consisting of the basic equations for continuity, momentum conservation, energy conservation of the gas mixture, and mass conservation of n species. GAMMA is based on a porous media model so that thermofluid and chemical reaction behaviors in a multicomponent mixture system and heat transfer within solid components, free and forced convection between a solid and a fluid, and radiative heat transfer between solid surfaces can be dealt with. GAMMA has a two-dimensional helium turbine model based on the throughflow calculation and a coupled neutronics-thermal-hydraulic model. Extensive code assessment has been performed for the verification and validation of SPACE and GAMMA.
