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.

Analysis of burnout heat flux is undertaken by considering the burnout heat flux to be the sum of the flux required to initiate nucleate boiling and of an incremental flux required to cause burnout. For data taken at a pressure of 2000 psia, the method of analysis correlated the majority of the data with an accuracy of ±17 per cent.
