EPA administrator Lee Zeldin talks the future of nuclear
In a recent interview on New York radio station 77 WABC, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin talked with host John Catsimatidis about the near-term future of the domestic nuclear industry and the role the EPA will play in the sector.
Catsimatidis kicked off the interview by asking if the U.S. will be able to reach total energy independence. Zeldin responded by saying that decreasing energy dependence on other countries, especially adversaries, was a top priority for him and the Trump administration.

Burnout and heat-transfer correlations have been obtained from experimental data in a ‘Once-Through Superheat’ channel with an exponential heat distribution. Such an electrically heated channel permits local heat fluxes to approach burnout limits in order to maximize total heat input to a test section. Data as a function of the process variables include burnout heat flux in the high quality region and superheat production from 0 to 235°F. The range of the independent process variables are: pressure, 520 to 1900 lb/in.2 (gage); flow, 0.0108 to 0.242 × 106 lb/h-ft2, and subcooling from 0 to 327°F. Several comparisons with data in the literature including one for high quality film boiling are made.
