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 coupled and transient calculation method for a posteriori evaluation of coarse-mesh boiling water reactor core calculation results was developed. An analysis of the local power density shape in the environment of the topmost end of the control element was made. The influence on the sections of the fuel pins being exposed by a small control-element withdrawal has been investigated. The transient calculation results of response in the power density to a 16-cm-long, 4 cm/s speed control-element ramp are discussed.
