PR: American Nuclear Society welcomes Senate confirmation of Ted Garrish as the DOE’s nuclear energy secretary
Washington, D.C. — The American Nuclear Society (ANS) applauds the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Theodore “Ted” Garrish as Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
“On behalf of over 11,000 professionals in the fields of nuclear science and technology, the American Nuclear Society congratulates Mr. Garrish on being confirmed by the Senate to once again lead the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy,” said ANS President H.M. "Hash" Hashemian.

A summary is given of the work done on the thermal behavior of air-cooled graphite channels. The differences in results between this work and work done by Robinson and Taylor (5) appear to arise from the different models used. The results reported here and re-evaluation of the Robinson and Taylor work indicate that their model is not confirmed by their experiments and does not predict the limit in permissible temperatures imposed by graphite oxidation in air-cooled graphite moderated reactors.
