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.

The three completed stages of an alloy development program aimed at defining a nickel chromium-based alloy resistant to carburization in simulated high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) helium with high-temperature strength similar to alloy Inconel-617 show that alloys based on nickel and 10% chromium with 10 to 16% tungsten and 1.1 to 3.2% titanium exhibit good corrosion resistance in dry simulated HTGR helium and have short-time creep properties similar to Inconel-617. The alloys are readily hot and cold workable and show potentially good structural stability.
