Congress passes new nuclear funding
On January 15, in an 82–14 vote, the U.S. Senate passed an Energy and Water Development appropriations bill to fund the U.S. Department of Energy for fiscal year 2026 as part of a broader package that also funded the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
Uranium Chemistry Tutorial
December 8, 2020|10:30AM–12:00PM (11:30AM–1:00PM EST)
Available to 2020 ANS Virtual Winter Meeting Attendees
ANS Members, please log in to watch this webinar.
This is part four of a nine-part tutorial series exclusively available to 2020 ANS Winter Meeting attendees.
Examples where chemistry has unexpectedly impinged (or might have impinged) on criticality control are explored.
Case 1: How poor engineering altered the chemistry of a dissolver system and caused an unexpected criticality hazard… or how a lack of engineering know-how fooled the chemists.
Case 2: How a criticality safety improvement made things less safe as chemistry triumphed over physics.
Case 3: How chemistry fooled even the chemists.
