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.

This paper is a sequel to the previous work on the theory and application of the multilevel formalism to Doppler effect analysis. The first part of this paper gives some quantitative results in both the resolved and the unresolved resonance regions. Detailed discussions on the interpretation and analysis of these results are given. The second part of this paper describes some further studies on the statistical behavior of the S-matrix parameters with the emphasis on the residues. Both theoretical predictions and numerical results for cases pertinent to the reactor Doppler-effect analysis are given.
