ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

NRC updating GEIS rule for new nuclear technology
The Nuclear Regulatory Agency is issuing a proposed generic environmental impact statement (GEIS) for use in reviewing applications for new nuclear reactors.
In an April 17 memo, NRC secretary Carrie Safford wrote that the commission approved NRC staff’s recommendation to publish in the Federal Register a proposed rule amending 10 CFR Part 51, “Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions.”

This paper deals with the estimation of and of the PuPu redox couple in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt using statistical data fitting of experimental data. The value was also estimated in our laboratory at 723 and 773 K using logarithmic analysis of semi-integral voltammograms and chronopotentiograms. From semi-integral curves, was found to be −2.888 0.021 and −2.810 0.021 V at 723 and 773 K, respectively, whereas it was −2.851 0.020 V at 773 K from the analysis of chronopotentiograms. Based on subsequent statistical analysis, we recommend the following expressions for and applicable for the temperature range 673 to 823 K:andThe value in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt was estimated from calculated for the reactionusing FactSage package, and it was expressed as
