Feinstein Institutes to research novel radiation countermeasure
The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, home of the research institutes of New York’s Northwell Health, announced it has received a five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate the potential of human ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone, as a medical countermeasure against radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (GI-ARS).

Tour Description: The AP1000 simulator is an accurate and realistic implementation of a control room for a modern Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power plant. The tour will provide a real-time experience of reactor control and response to simulated reactor and power demand transients. The simulator is used to train operators on all plant procedures from startup to shutdown, including operations under an extensive range of transients. The simulator operates continuously and realistically through all modes of plant operation.
The eVinci™ micro-reactor’s innovative design is a combination of space reactor technologies and 50+ years of commercial nuclear systems design, engineering and innovation. The eVinci™ micro-reactor aims to create competitive and resilient power with superior reliability and minimal maintenance, particularly for energy consumers in remote locations. Its small size allows for standard transportation methods and rapid, on-site deployment in contrast to large, centralized stations. The reactor core is designed to run for three or more years, eliminating the need for frequent refueling.
Westinghouse NDA needs to be filled out to participate.
