  • Resource stabilization in a distributed network
    Patent number: 11140094
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a resource stabilization in a distributed network. A computing device in a distributed network may check the median value of a transactional resource in relation to a specified external resource. The computing device in the distributed network may compare the median value of the transactional resource to a threshold value for the transactional resource to determine whether the median value of the transactional resource is above the threshold value or below the threshold value. The supply of the transactional resource in the distributed network may be increased in response to determining that the transactional resource is above the threshold value or may be in response to determining that the transactional resource is below the threshold value.

  • In-containment spent fuel storage to limit spent fuel pool water makeup
    Patent number: 11120921
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for extending the period a nuclear steam supply system spent fuel pool can be safely passively cooled by storing the spent fuel offloaded from the reactor, in the containment for one reactor operating cycle. During a refueling the spent fuel that is not to be returned to the reactor and the spent fuel that will be returned to the reactor are stored separately in shielded locations within the containment. After one operating cycle, the spent fuel stored within the containment that was not returned to the reactor just prior to the last operating cycle, is offloaded to the spent fuel pool and replaced by the newly offloaded spent fuel that is being retired.

  • IN-CONTAINMENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE TO LIMIT SPENT FUEL POOL WATER MAKEUP
    Publication number: 20200075188

During a refueling the spent fuel that is not to be returned to the reactor and the spent fuel that will be returned to the reactor are stored separately in shielded locations within the containment. After one operating cycle, the spent fuel stored within the containment that was not returned to the reactor just prior to the last operating cycle, is offloaded to the spent fuel pool and replaced by the newly offloaded spent fuel that is being retired.
