The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

The Godunov method that tracks nonstationary fronts and interfaces as boundaries of subregions moving with time is extended to include radiation transport. In each subregion and at each time step, a new grid is created by use of boundary-fitted coordinates. The radiation transport is performed in a multiangle-multifrequency approach. The numerical method is based on a finite volume method in the space time-domain, and the hydrodynamic fluxes are calculated using the solution of Riemann problems. Numerical results are shown for some selected problems to demonstrate the efficiency of this approach.
