MIT professor develops method to verify compliance with Outer Space Treaty
Danagoulian
Areg Danagoulian of the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is proposing a mechanism for verifying that Earth-orbiting satellites are in compliance with the Outer Space Treaty, which prohibits the placement of nuclear weapons in space. Danagoulian’s “concept and feasibility study,” titled “Verification of the Outer Space Treaty with cosmic protons,” was published recently in the journal Nature.

The Salt at WAll: Thermal ExcHanges (SWATH) experiment is one of the research activities of the European H2020 SAMOFAR project (Safety Assessment of the Molten Salt Fast Reactor - MSFR). The main objective of the SWATH experiment is to improve CFD molten salt numerical models used for design and safety studies. This paper presents the design of the SWATH facility and of some of the test sections that are currently being studied. These sections include open and close channels geometries equipped with an electrical heater.
