ANS panel discussion looks at nuclear’s place in maritime, energy, medicine, space
The applications of nuclear energy extend beyond providing power to the electrical grid. Advanced nuclear technologies may soon have new applications in oil and gas facilities, in hospitals and clinics, on the open seas, and on the moon.
A June 1 executive session, “How Nuclear Technologies will Shape the Future Energy Economy,” at the American Nuclear Society’s Annual Conference allowed experts have an open discussion on the future of nuclear advancements in multiple sectors.

The EROS computer code is described as a verified program for operational safety reactor events in the normal operating or mild upset range of Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II). Following a description of EROS, several cases of verification of experimental events with the code are presented. The code is found to adequately represent reactivity perturbations in EBR-II including operational rod drops, control rod drops, and oscillator experiments. In addition, the code will interpret flow-coastdown (loss-of-pumping-power) events with great accuracy.
