World Bank, IAEA partner to fund nuclear energy
The World Bank and the International Atomic Energy Agency signed an agreement last week to cooperate on the construction and financing of advanced nuclear projects in developing countries, marking the first partnership since the bank ended its ban on funding for nuclear energy projects.

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.
