ACRS seeking new committee member
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) is currently seeking qualified candidates to fill an open committee member position. Applications for the position will be accepted until July 30. The ACRS is the world’s oldest organization devoted to reactor safety, and the group reports directly to the NRC’s commissioners in order to provide independent technical reviews of and advice on a wide variety of nuclear topics.

Experiments to determine the mass transfer efficiencies of the packed columns making up the Krypton Absorption in Liquid CO2 (KALC) process were performed at a nominal pressure of 2 MPa over a wide range of flow rates and flow ratios for the CO2-O2-Kr system. The height of the transfer unit values, which were relatively independent of gas or liquid flow rates, were 0.13 m for krypton in the absorber, 0.16 m for O2 in the fractionator, and 0.21 m for krypton in the stripper.
