Kentucky disburses $10M in nuclear grants
The Kentucky Nuclear Energy Development Authority (KNEDA) recently distributed its first awards through the new Nuclear Energy Development Grant Program, which was established last year. In total, KNEDA disbursed $10 million to a variety of companies that will use the funding to support siting studies, enrichment supply-chain planning, workforce training, and curriculum development.

The feedback reactivity measurement was conducted in the Monju Core Confirmation Test in 2010. Two reactivity parameters related either to power and to the core inlet coolant temperature were evaluated within 5% accuracy based on the reactivity measured with the inverse kinetics technique. We confirmed that this advanced method is applicable to the fast reactor operation and shorten the duration of the experiment for the feedback coefficients evaluation.
