ANS designates Armour Research Foundation Reactor as Nuclear Historic Landmark
The American Nuclear Society presented the Illinois Institute of Technology with a plaque last week to officially designate the Armour Research Foundation Reactor a Nuclear Historic Landmark, following the Society’s decision to confer the status onto the reactor in September 2024.

Corrections to the extrapolation distance and angular emergent distribution for the Milne problem have been obtained by means of a perturbation method. The exact solution for a simple kernel has been taken as the unperturbed state, and the method has been applied to more realistic scattering models: numerical results are given for hydrogen gas. By means of a combined use of numerical and analytical methods some very accurate values have been obtained for the emergent angular energy spectrum for the Milne problem in the case of hydrogen gas.
