NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

A centrifugal extractor made of metacrylate resin has been studied to observe the separation of light and heavy liquid phases. The axial length required for two-phase separation has been evaluated. It is concluded that the length required for separation decreases as revolution increases from 1200 to 2000 rpm, since the droplet diameters are independent of revolution.
