BREAKING NEWS: Trump issues executive orders to overhaul nuclear industry
The Trump administration issued four executive orders today aimed at boosting domestic nuclear deployment ahead of significant growth in projected energy demand in the coming decades.
During a live signing in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump called nuclear “a hot industry,” adding, “It’s a brilliant industry. [But] you’ve got to do it right. It’s become very safe and environmental.”

A Monte Carlo code, MORSE-CV, which can calculate the covariance of the scalar neutron flux spectrum, was developed. Integral values and their variances calculated from the spectrum and its covariance were compared with the corresponding values calculated directly using the Monte Carlo method. The integral value calculated from the spectrum agreed well with the directly calculated value. Their standard deviations also agreed well with each other when the spectral correlation between different energies was treated correctly. When the correlation was ignored, the deviation was about one-half of the former value.
