Serbian officials lay out nuclear energy timeline
Serbia reached a significant milestone in 2024 when its National Assembly overturned a moratorium on nuclear power plants that had been in place for 35 years, a ban imposed when the country was part of the former Yugoslavia.
Fast forward to 2026 and the European country’s nuclear energy ambitions have become clearer. On July 13, Serbia’s Ministry of Mining and Energy held a four-day workshop outlining the country’s plans to kickstart a nuclear program.

Void fraction calculations have been performed using the subchannel drift-flux code CANAL. Using void and flow distributions in rod bundle geometry, a value of C0 has been estimated for bundle-averaged void fraction calculation in one-dimensional approximations. Successful prediction of the average void fraction is observed for the annular rod bundle geometry of the FRIGG experiment. In order to perform subchannel void fraction calculation, a C0 model has been developed for one-dimensional subchannel geometry. The implicit form of the C0 model developed accounts for void and flow conditions in the adjacent subchannels existing at the common interfaces, i.e., at the gap spacing between the subchannels. It appears that the magnitude of C0 varies between subchannels (annular rings of FRIGG geometry) but remains almost constant within each subchannel. Good agreement is observed between prediction and data for subchannel void fractions in axially uniform and nonuniform heated rod bundles.
