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.

Experimental verification of the piping code ICEPEL has led to a modification of the elbow hydrodynamic model so that agreement in predicting uniform pressure across the elbow cross section is obtained. A rupture disk model is incorporated and used in modeling the MARK-IICB loop of the TREAT reactor to assess its structural adequacy during a postulated accident that results from fuel-sodium interaction. The analysis showed the loop remained elastic. A nonreflecting boundary is incorporated and can be used in elastically deforming regions of piping systems to allow for refined modeling of portions of interest without having to model the whole system.
