Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

A method for solving systems of two or more singular integral equations with Cauchy kernel (or equivalent systems of the Wiener-Hopf type) is indicated. The class of systems considered is neither physically nor mathematically trivial. The proposed technique is applicable to some problems of neutron transport in the many-group approximation as well as to transport problems in different fields.
