DOE signs two more OTAs in Reactor Pilot Program
This week, the Department of Energy has finalized two new other transaction agreements (OTAs) with participating companies in its Reactor Pilot Program, which aims to get one or two fast-tracked reactors on line by July 4 of this year. Those companies are Terrestrial Energy and Oklo.

Data obtained from three systems are presented and discussed in reference to the problem of radioactive carry-over in boiling reactors. Measurements of droplet carry-over have been made on a small scale laboratory boiling test unit and on a 600-psia loop under high purity water conditions using Cs137 tracer. Measurements have also been made on the Borax-III boiling reactor under actual operating conditions. Activation products present in the steam and condensate served as an indication of the radioactive carry-over. Analysis of the decay curves of the samples provided a means of differentiating activities carried as droplets from volatile radioactive carry-over.
