Binary Metal Ceramic Tubes for Accident Tolerant LWR Fuel Cladding
SBC: CERAMIC TUBULAR PRODUCTS, LLC Topic: 30The use of advanced ceramic materials, such as silicon carbide, for light water reactor fuel cladding is being investigated, in part due to the increased safety margin afforded by this technology over conventional zircaloy metallic claddings. In light of the Fukushima events, safety concerns have come to the forefront of public scrutiny of commercial nuclear generated power and spurred activity in ...

Simulations of Explosive Electron Emission in Cathodic Arcs
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: 20Explosive Electron Emission (EEE) is typical to cathodic arcs. The physics of multi-phase phenomena associated with self-sustained formation of explosive emission centers (ectons) is not fully understood. This SBIR project will conduct experimental, theoretical, and computational studies of phase transitions at electrode surfaces, formation of plasma jets, and gas dynamics in cathodic sparks and a ...

Improving Efficiency and Reducing Costs for the Supercritical C02 Design Process
SBC: Concepts NREC, LLC Topic: 18Supercritical CO2 cycles have the potential to significantly improve efficiency and reduce emissions in power generation. However, the unique fluid dynamic properties of supercritical CO2 that enable these higher efficiencies also complicate the design and layout of the system, particularly its turbomachinery components. The problem stems specifically from the highly non-linear properties of CO2, ...

3-D Printing of Nuclear Fuel Assembly Nozzles and End-Spacer Grids
SBC: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC. Topic: 30Cost and time associated with material waste, quality control, inspection, and manufacturing of nuclear fuel assembly components can detrimental to nuclear plant design and development. Specifically, spacer grids and nozzles are prime component examples that inherently carry these issues due to their complex geometries. The design engineer must always weigh the manufacturing practices against the ...

An optimized biocatalyst for efficient conversion of CH4 and CO2 into bioproducts
SBC: MOGENE GREEN CHEMICALS LC Topic: 10Aspartate-family amino acids are the most important essential amino acids in human and animal nutrition. These amino acids are currently commercially produced from either microbial fermentation using food-derived feedstocks or by a chemical method utilizing highly toxic petrochemical raw materials. The major amino acids producers are looking for alternative non-food feedstocks to offset the rising ...

Additive Manufacture of Tungsten Armored Plasma Facing Components
SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC Topic: 20Tungsten and its alloys are candidates for plasma facing component (PFC) armor due to their low sputtering rate, high melting point, high thermal conductivity, high strength at elevated temperatures, and low tritium inventory. Although copper alloys have been selected for the heat sinks for ITER, a working fusion reactor will require the use of higher strength, low activation materials. For exampl ...
