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.

Heat transfer rates to spray droplets under conditions of a loss-of-coolant accident in a light water reactor have been calculated by two different droplet models: the rigid droplet model and the complete mixing droplet model For calculating the heat transfer rates, a computer program, CONDENSE, was developed. The program was designed to calculate the respective model with the corresponding input data. The difference between the two models in spray heat transfer efficiency and the effects of droplet size, initial velocity, spray angle, and gas temperature on the efficiency were revealed by calculations. In addition, the dependence of the efficiency on the fall distance of a droplet, which had not been reported despite its importance in evaluating the spray effectiveness in a vessel, was revealed.
