Tennessee senators call on Trump to “rescue TVA from itself”
Hagerty
Blackburn
In a strongly worded opinion piece published by Power Magazine on March 24, Tennessee Sens. Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty call for new leadership at the Tennessee Valley Authority to jumpstart its small modular reactor program.
The GOP lawmakers are looking to President Donald Trump and Energy Secretary Chris Wright to overhaul TVA’s board of directors to drive America’s role in the nuclear renaissance. TVA is the first and only U.S. energy company to obtain an early site permit for a small modular reactor, but the utility has not progressed on physical deployment of a unit since the permit was awarded in 2019.
The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors Virtual Meeting
Technical Session|Panel|Sponsored by Advanced Modeling Applications
Tuesday, November 17, 2020|10:00–11:30AM EST
Session Chair:
Erik Mader (EPRI)
Alternate Chair:
Robert St. Clair (Duke Energy)
Session Organizer:
Scott Palmtag (NC State Univ.)
Staff Producer:
Joseph Coale (NC State Univ.)
The VERA code suite, the product of CASL, has been developed for the solution of challenge problems facing the Light Water Reactor (LWR) operating fleet. Within CASL, VERA has been demonstrated for a broad range of industry applications including analyses performed for core design, operations, transient safety and component fluence lifetime. VERA is now being deployed for widespread use by the nuclear industry with the issuance of commercial licenses. This panel provides an industry perspective on VERA deployment and use by the nuclear industry as well as future VERA development in the post-CASL era.
