NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

A two-dimension inverse heat transfer analysis is discussed using temperature data collected during critical heat flux experiments. The experiments were performed at the High Pressure Heat Transfer Facility at the University of Wisconsin-Madison at prototypical conditions of light water reactors. The results are compared to a thermal-hydraulic computational code to show how this analysis could improve our understanding of the post-CHF phenomena.
