NECX debut: Shaping the next era of energy
The sold-out inaugural Nuclear Energy Conference & Expo (NECX) got off to a roaring start in Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday morning with an opening plenary that was a live highlight reel discussing the latest industry achievements.
Starting with a lively promo video that left the audience amped up for Entergy’s CEO and NEI chair Drew Marsh, who welcomed everyone to the event, hosted jointly by the American Nuclear Society and the Nuclear Energy Institute. He spoke to a full house of more than 1,300 attendees, promising a blend of science, technology, policy, and advocacy centered around the future of nuclear energy.

This technical note describes the influence of the transients and corrective additives on the distribution of loosely bonded forms of solid-phase corrosion products between the equipment surfaces and the primary coolant of a naval reactor plant. It is shown that the concentration of loosely bonded corrosion products increases by tenfold during the transient, and the feeding of corrective additives allows a several-fold reduction in the rate of their resedimentation on the internal surfaces of equipment, and as a consequence, improvement of corrosion product removal efficiency by cleanup filters. The proposed solutions allow removal of up to 70% of loosely bonded corrosion products from the coolant using standard filters.
