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.

A new method is proposed for the analytical calculation of resonance integrals. Resonance integrals of infinite cylindric fuel cells are calculated according to a very simple analytical method with a reasonable level of accuracy. An escape probability based on a rational approximation is used to represent the neutron transport among the cell regions. The expression obtained for the resonance integral is a function of the temperature, geometry, and fuel rod composition, as well as the neutron energy. The terms of the expression are combinations of the well-known function J(ξ,β) and its partial derivatives in β. The formulation can be used for all resonance types (narrow, intermediate, and wide). The method parameters depend on the resonance type and can be obtained as a function of a single parameter. For this parameter, a simple expression dependent on the resonance parameters is proposed.
