DOE saves $1.7M transferring robotics from Portsmouth to Oak Ridge
The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management said it has transferred four robotic demolition machines from the department’s Portsmouth Site in Ohio to Oak Ridge, Tenn., saving the office more than $1.7 million by avoiding the purchase of new equipment.

The results obtained from the analysis of two operational transients - a load rejection and a main steam isolation valve closure, both at conditions near 100% of rated power - of the Laguna Verde nuclear power plant using RETRAN-03 (RETRAN) are presented. The methodology followed to obtain the cross section for the RETRAN-03 one-dimensional kinetics model using the fuel management system package is also discussed.
