NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

An electrical conductivity probe which provides a means of accurately measuring local void fractions in two-phase flow has been developed. The void fractions obtained with the probe in an air-water mixture agree with those calculated from flow rate data to within about ± 25% of the calculated value. However, an empirical modification of the current-void relationship brought this agreement to within ± 8% for void fractions ranging from 0.19 to 0.77.
