Supreme Court rules against Texas in interim storage case
The Supreme Court voted 6–3 against Texas and a group of landowners today in a case involving the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s licensing of a consolidated interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, reversing a decision by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to grant the state and landowners Fasken Land and Minerals (Fasken) standing to challenge the license.

An improved digital computer model DYNAM/US has been developed for predicting thermally induced instability in a once-through boiling flow with superheat. The present model includes newly developed dynamic schemes to calculate subcooled boiling, transition boiling, bulk boiling, as well as superheat. Numerical results revealed that this digital model compared well with existing experimental data and was able to predict lower natural frequencies as well as the system frequency response at higher frequencies.
