EPA administrator Lee Zeldin talks the future of nuclear
In a recent interview on New York radio station 77 WABC, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin talked with host John Catsimatidis about the near-term future of the domestic nuclear industry and the role the EPA will play in the sector.
Catsimatidis kicked off the interview by asking if the U.S. will be able to reach total energy independence. Zeldin responded by saying that decreasing energy dependence on other countries, especially adversaries, was a top priority for him and the Trump administration.

The increasing number of investigations of boiling heat transfer with liquid metals reflects the current interest in and importance of this process. Its application to nuclear power systems is important. The trend of the literature, for practical reasons, leans toward seeking answers to specific applications rather than understanding of the boiling mechanism. A review of such growing literature is desirable to disseminate the information and to interpret results of various studies. This paper reviews the major progress in experimental and analytical investigations, the evidence of agreements and disagreements between different investigators, and the difficulties in areas caused by lack of information, and it presents recommendations for future work.
