Countering the nuclear workforce shortage narrative
James Chamberlain, director of the Nuclear, Utilities, and Energy Sector at Rullion, has declared that the nuclear industry will not have workforce challenges going forward. “It’s time to challenge the scarcity narrative,” he wrote in a recent online article. “Nuclear isn't short of talent; it’s short of imagination in how it attracts, trains, and supports the workforce of the future.”

Multigroup k and α eigenvalue problems for plane asymmetric cell lattices with superimposed small buckling are considered. Expressions for k and α eigenvalues and corresponding fundamental modes are given. A modified diffusion equation is introduced and some formulas for homogenized cross sections and diffusion coefficients are derived.
