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.

A countercurrent flow limitation model is incorporated into the RELAP5/MOD3 system transient analysis code. The model is based on the form used by Bankoff et al., and it is implemented in a manner similar to the RELAP5 choking model. Simulations using Dukler and Smith’s air/water flooding test problem demonstrate the ability of the code to significantly improve its comparison to data when a flooding correlation suggested in Dukler and Smith’s study is used.
