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.

Several potential sources of misscaling in reduced scale experimental tests have been systematically investigated. Increases in the enthalpy in-flux during pool swell increase resultant uploads; slight boundary flexibility due to small air bubbles attached to the pool walls or true fluid structure interaction can increase peak pool boundary loads; the presence of water vapor in the wetwell airspace can either increase or decrease pool swell uploads, depending on the vapor fraction initially present.
