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.

A time-dependent equation for the slip velocity in a two-phase flow condition has been incorporated into the RETRAN-02 computer code. This model addition was undertaken to remove a limitation in RETRAN-01 associated with the homogeneous equilibrium mixture model The dynamic slip equation was derived from a set of two-fluid conservation equations. The slip model and the flow-regime-dependent constitutive equations are used in the RETRAN steady-state initialization solution as well as for transient analyses. Comparisons of RETRAN calculations with steady-state and transient data indicate the slip model results in a better analysis of two-phase flow behavior than does the homogeneous equilibrium mixture model
