Panelists discuss U.S. path to criticality in ANS webinar
The American Nuclear Society recently hosted a panel discussion featuring prominent figures from the nuclear sector who discussed the industry’s ongoing push for criticality.
Yasir Arafat, chief technical officer of Aalo Atomics; Jordan Bramble, CEO of Antares Nuclear; and Rita Baranwal, chief nuclear officer of Radiant Industries, participated in the discussion and covered their recent progress in the Department of Energy’s Reactor Pilot Program. Nader Satvat, director of nuclear systems design at Kairos Power, gave an update on the company’s ongoing demonstration projects taking place outside of the landscape of DOE authorization.

We present the first semi-analytic radiation transport solutions for the three-temperature (3-T) model: the equations that couple radiation, electron, and ion energy density in a dense plasma. The problem we solve is the 3-T version of the Su-Olson problem considered in a recent radiation diffusion study for verification of a production HEDP code. After linearizing the equations, integral transforms are used to solve the equation, and the inverse transforms are computed numerically after considerable simplication. The results are compared to 2-T transport and 3-T diffusion solutions.
