Who’s in the running for DOE Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses?
Today is the Department of Energy’s deadline for states to respond to a request for information on proposed Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses. Issued on January 28, the RFI marks the first step toward potentially establishing voluntary federal-state partnerships designed to build a coherent, end-to-end nuclear fuel cycle strategy for the country, including waste management, according to the DOE.

An existing mathematical model that describes the contamination of isothermal steel surfaces by radioactive corrosion products in high-temperature water is extended by including a term for mass transfer across the fluid boundary layer. Fits to experimental data from recirculating and once-through loops remain good, while predictions of corrosion rate are altered slightly. Resulting variations of initial deposition coefficient and surface activity with velocity are shown.
