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 boiling water reactor system model for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant has been developed to predict reactor behavior during postulated transients and accidents. The model is based on the RETRAN-02 computer program and includes one-dimensional neutron kinetics capabilities. The model can be applied to a wide range of transients but is primarily intended for analyses of the limiting pressurization transients considered for reload core licensing. The model is qualified by comparisons to a number of startup test transients performed at Browns Ferry and to special turbine trip tests conducted at Peach Bottom.
