The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

The computer code RETRAN-02 is being used to analyze operational transients at the Hanford N Reactor. Included in the scope of the transients is a loss of feedwater from two 430-MW(electric) turbines to the secondary cooling system. An actual loss of feedwater from one of the two turbines occurred prior to this analysis, and plant data obtained from this transient were used in the validation of the RETRAN computer model. These data are compared with the RETRAN-02 predictions.
