NRC approves TerraPower construction permit
Today, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced that it has approved TerraPower’s construction permit application for Kemmerer Unit 1, the company’s first deployment of Natrium, its flagship sodium fast reactor.
This approval is a significant milestone on three fronts. For TerraPower, it represents another step forward in demonstrating its technology. For the Department of Energy, it reflects progress (despite delays) for the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP). For the NRC, it is the first approval granted to a commercial reactor in nearly a decade—and the first approval of a commercial non–light water reactor in more than 40 years.

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.
