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.”

The method of singular eigenfunction expansions is applied to the time-independent one-speed Milne problem in which there are two half-space media. It is assumed that scattering in each medium is at most linear in the cosine of the scattering angle; closed form expressions are then obtained for the expansion coefficients. Numerical results show the dependence upon the scattering parameters of the extrapolation distance and the discontinuities in the asymptotic densities and currents at the interface. These results give the proper boundary conditions to be applied when using diffusion theory in problems involving two or more plane layers which are thick as compared to the mean-free-paths of the media.
