Two steps forward for U.K. advanced nuclear
This week, two significant announcements have emerged from the United Kingdom’s advanced reactor sector.
On June 14, Rolls-Royce, the United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory, and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency announced that they had signed two trilateral memorandums of cooperation to collaborate on “advanced modular reactor (AMR) technology, specifically high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR), and the coated particle fuel these reactors will use.”
Separately, on June 16, Bellevue, Wash.–based TerraPower announced that its Natrium reactor design has been formally submitted for U.K. regulatory review. The company also announced the formation of a new subsidiary, TerraPower UK Ltd.

A method of sampling the Wienke formula for Compton scattering in Monte Carlo calculations has been developed. The Wienke formula differs from the well-known Klein-Nishina formula in that it considers electrons in relativistic Maxwellian motion. The proposed sampling method for the Wienke formula is a rejection technique similar to Kahn's method for the Klein-Nishina formula.
