Virginia utility considers SMRs
Dominion Energy Virginia has issued a request for proposals from leading nuclear companies to study the feasibility of putting a small modular reactor at its North Anna nuclear power plant.
While the utility says it is not a commitment to build an SMR at the site, the RFP is “an important first step in evaluating the technology and the North Anna site to support Dominion Energy customers’ future energy needs consistent with the company’s most recent Integrated Resource Plan.”

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.
