NEI chief executive highlights “unlimited potential” for nuclear in state of the industry address
Korsnick
In the Nuclear Energy Institute’s annual State of the Nuclear Energy Industry report, NEI president and CEO and Maria Korsnick expressed optimism about the nuclear industry and she issued a call to action.
Her address was part of NEI’s Nuclear Energy Policy forum. The forum, being held in Washington, D.C., on May 20 and May 21, brings together industry leaders, policy stakeholders, and clean energy experts to discuss nuclear advocacy. Korsnick’s remarks focused on the private capital flowing into the industry, progress on regulatory reform and new nuclear technology, and how the U.S. is trying to take the lead on the global nuclear stage.
“We are here at an unprecedented time in our industry history,” Korsnick said. “I’m proud to say that the nuclear industry has a future of unlimited potential.”

A semi-empirical model is developed that shows iodine filter behavior under normal and anomalous conditions. A two-stage accident is assumed in a 300-MW(electric) liquid-metal fast breeder reactor (LMFBR). Normal behavior is expected when there is a 10 to 30% adsorption of the inventory of 131I, released during a core meltdown of the LMFBR. No serious rise in temperature and desorption is expected in the filter under normal conditions. Under anomalous conditions, however, i.e., when >60% of the 131I that is released is adsorbed in the filter, high desorption and probably burning of the charcoal may result.
