I actually keep a copy of that paper on my desk!

And while it is an amazing piece of work, from a nuclear professionals perspective... I can't help but wonder if the general public will be swayed by "peak radial average fuel enthalpy..." type arguments...

I mean, if people are scared by the very important sounding "positive void coefficient", will PRAFE reassure them??

Just a thought...

Thanks Radik,

Its unfortunate that the CNSC doesn’t cite references in their public releases.

I have a copy of the COG report by Muzumdar and Meneley, but I lost track of the fact that there was an overview available in the public domain (....on Jeremy’s FAQ web site no less !!).

Thanks for keeping us “on our toes” as they say !

.....I will add the link in a comment on the G-2 refurb supporters FB page – perhaps you might consider visiting from time to time:

Thanks again,
