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 of forming one-dimensional networks that are equivalent to two-dimensional wave propagations with fluid-structure interactions was developed. The method was verified by analysis of the simple shaker for a computational experiment by the use of the MULTIPLEX code for one-dimensional hydraulics with fluid-structure interactions. By applying the method of network formation, the Fritz-Kiss experiment was subsequently analyzed. In the latter case, the computed in-water frequency was 17.39 Hz, in good agreement with the measured value, 17.0 Hz. Thus, the MULTIPLEX code was verified for analyses of two-dimensional systems with application of the network model.
