60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

Turbulence intensities in a closed rectangular channel were measured under the influence of a transverse magnetic field in the range of Reynolds numbers between 5.3 × 104 and 2.8 × 105 and Hartmann numbers between 0 and 1500. The intensities were found to be suppressed exponentially by the field in the range M2/Re <0.12. Skin-friction measurements were also obtained during the experiment. The measurements were found to be lower than the theoretical magneto-fluid-mechanic laminar predictions for values of M/Re > 25 × 104. This phenomenon was attributed to magnetic entrance effects.
