NEI chief executive highlights “unlimited potential” for nuclear in state of the industry address
Korsnick
In the Nuclear Energy Institute’s annual State of the Nuclear Energy Industry report, NEI president and CEO and Maria Korsnick expressed optimism about the nuclear industry and she issued a call to action.
Her address was part of NEI’s Nuclear Energy Policy forum. The forum, being held in Washington, D.C., on May 20 and May 21, brings together industry leaders, policy stakeholders, and clean energy experts to discuss nuclear advocacy. Korsnick’s remarks focused on the private capital flowing into the industry, progress on regulatory reform and new nuclear technology, and how the U.S. is trying to take the lead on the global nuclear stage.
“We are here at an unprecedented time in our industry history,” Korsnick said. “I’m proud to say that the nuclear industry has a future of unlimited potential.”

A two-group study of neutron-wave propagation has been made in two crystal-line moderators—beryllium and graphite. For each moderator the results are reported at two temperatures: (i) room temperature and (ii) a rather low temperature. The effect of Bragg cut-off on the propagation of neutron-waves in these crystalline moderators is clearly brought out. It is found that for frequencies greater than a certain frequency fo, a pseudo-asymptotic mode exists even though cold neutrons fail to reach equilibrium. It is shown that in moderators at low temperatures, large phase difference between the two components of the wave (the cold neutrons and the rest) can develop for small source frequencies and this can lead to a considerable depression in the flux at some particular distance for some fairly well defined frequency.
