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.

Data from steady-stale tests in the Thermal-Hydraulic Out-of-Reactor Safety (THORS) facility, a large loop for testing simulated liquid-metal fast breeder reactor fuel bundles at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, were examined to determine whether the results from tests at similar conditions in the same bundle are reproducible. Comparisons of different tests at similar powers and coolant flows were made for several THORS bundles. The results show that the data were in fact reproducible and can be used with confidence by analysts to quantify computer codes and models.
