PR: American Nuclear Society welcomes Senate confirmation of Ted Garrish as the DOE’s nuclear energy secretary
Washington, D.C. — The American Nuclear Society (ANS) applauds the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Theodore “Ted” Garrish as Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
“On behalf of over 11,000 professionals in the fields of nuclear science and technology, the American Nuclear Society congratulates Mr. Garrish on being confirmed by the Senate to once again lead the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy,” said ANS President H.M. "Hash" Hashemian.

This paper presents a description of the lattice physics code LANCER02, developed for use on boiling water reactor fuel designs at Global Nuclear Fuel and General Electric Energy, Nuclear. Included in the paper is a detailed description of the methodology used to determine the neutron flux distribution throughout the problem. The paper focuses on single-assembly analysis as well as multibundle analysis along a plane of a reactor core. A small sampling of results from the lattice physics code are compared against results generated by continuous-energy Monte Carlo analysis.
