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.

This is part of a series of experimental investigation and analysis of the boiling phenomena. Previously, pool boiling experiments were carried out in all boiling regions, following the design and construction of a feedback control system that allowed process operation at any point on the boiling curve including the unstable region, which is referred to here as the transition or negative-h boiling region. This paper reports the results of flow boiling dynamic analysis in this region with the necessary modifications of formulas presented earlier to properly represent the flow boiling case; in addition, this analysis gives more insight into the characteristics of a boiling region, which is often considered desirable to avoid for many engineering applications because of the characteristic instability.
