OECD NEA meeting focuses on irradiation experiments
Members of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s Second Framework for Irradiation Experiments (FIDES-II) joint undertaking gathered from September 29 to October 3 in Ketchum, Idaho, for the technical advisory group and governing board meetings hosted by Idaho National Laboratory. The FIDES-II Framework aims to ensure and foster competences in experimental nuclear fuel and structural materials in-reactor experiments through a diverse set of Joint Experimental Programs (JEEPs).

A summary is presented of the research programs in the U.S. that have studied the utilization of reject heat from both fossil and nuclear power plants. The results of over 80 investigators are presented in two areas. The first area is soil warming, greenhouses, and warm water irrigation. The second area is aquaculture and integrated systems. The present status of this research indicates that technical feasibility for the utilization of reject heat is at hand. Many problems, such as institutional, regulations, land use, and the coupling of heat source to heat utilization systems exist.
