Nuclear News 40 Under 40: The wait is over
Following the enthusiastic response from the nuclear community in 2024 for the inaugural NN 40 Under 40, the Nuclear News team knew we had to take up the difficult task in 2025 of turning it into an annual event—though there was plenty of uncertainty as to how the community would receive a second iteration this year. That uncertainty was unfounded, clearly, as the tight-knit nuclear community embraced the chance to celebrate its up-and-coming generation of scientists, engineers, and policy makers who are working to grow the influence of this oft-misunderstood technology.

An experimental method of measuring parameters peculiar to a two-region nuclear reactor is developed requiring the measurement of the cross-power spectrum between the outputs of the two reactor regions when a random reactivity input is given to one of the regions. Using bandpass filters and an analog computer, the cross-power spectrum between the outputs of the two regions in the University of Florida Training Reactor has been measured. These data indicate that the propagation of a disturbance from one region of the reactor to the other region may adequately be described in terms of neutron-wave phenomena and that the method may be used to determine the multiplication factor of each region.
