From Capitol Hill: Nuclear is back, critical for America’s energy future
The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy convened its first hearing of the year, “American Energy Dominance: Dawn of the New Nuclear Era,” on January 7, where lawmakers and industry leaders discussed how nuclear energy can help meet surging electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, advanced manufacturing, and national security needs.

The linear theory of transport determines the 3 × 1 matrix of dissipative fluxes Ĵr namely, the electric current and the electronic and ionic heat fluxes, in terms of a 3 × 1 matrix of thermodynamic forces Xˆ defined by the electric field and the gradient of the densities and temperatures. The components of the 3 × 3 matrix of tensors Lˆrs of the linear flux-force relations Ĵr = Σ9s=1 LˆrsXˆ define the set of transport coefficients. They are evaluated for an ion-electron magnetized plasma in the framework of the statistical mechanics of charged particles starting from the Landau kinetic equation.
