Radiant signs contract on microreactors for the military
California-based microreactor developer Radiant Industries has announced the signing of what it calls “the first-ever agreement” to deliver a mass-manufactured nuclear microreactor to a U.S. military base. The contract was signed with the Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and the U.S. Air Force as part of the Advanced Nuclear Power for Installations (ANPI) program.

An analog computer was developed to measure the safety factor against film-boiling burnout of reactor fuel surfaces. The instrument was used at the Savannah River Plant as an aid in manual control of power in one heavy-water-cooled and -moderated production reactor which operated with a specific power of over 220 kW/g of 235U and at neutron flux levels up to 6 × 1015 n/(cm2 sec).
