About this award
This federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Ultra Safe Nuclear Corp (USNC) under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II. The contract is for the development of USNC's "Accident Submersion Safe Drums," which are control drums that incorporate a small amount of fuel opposite the neutron absorber to substantially increase the shutdown criticality margin in the event of water submersion accidents. The Phase 1 results indicate the design provides more than sufficient shutdown criticality margin to maintain sub-criticality in the worst-case water submersion scenarios. The contract has a firm fixed price of $749,739.00 and a completion date of July 31, 2019.
Description
In brief, usnc's accident submersion safe drums are control drums where a small amount of fuel is added opposite to the neutron absorber and the drums impinge on the active core to substantially increase the shutdown criticality margin of the control drums. Phase 1 results indicate that the shutdown criticality margin is more than sufficient to maintain sub-criticality in the worst-case water submersion accidents. Key accidents that the accident submersion safe drums address include submersion in freshwater and sand with a stuck drum in the full-on position and submersion in water and wet sand with reflector loss.
