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 NaI(Tl)-based in-line enrichment monitor has been developed for the gas-phase UF6 feed stream of an enrichment plant to provide real-time material-accountancy and/or containment-surveillance data. The method has produced assay results that are independent of operating UF6 pressure, with an assay accuracy of better than 1% (1σ) relative over the range of UF6 enrichments of 0.72 to 5.4 at.%. For 1.0%-enriched UF6 at 700 Torr, a 0.74% relative precision was obtained for a 1000-s counting time. As a result of these measurements, an in-line gas-phase enrichment monitor has been installed in the Paducah-product feed line of the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant for field test and evaluation.
