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 general scaling laws for transient one- and two-phase mass and heat flow, and the other conditions that hold in the transitional state, have been published. Details of the scaling of loss-of-coolant accident phenomena for water-cooled nuclear reactors are investigated by means of experimental loops using water and Freon-12. To a smaller extent we have also investigated the scaling of heat- and mass-flow transients in sodium-cooled nuclear reactors by using water.
