Ariz. governor vetoes “fast track” bill for nuclear
Gov. Katie Hobbs put the brakes on legislation that would have eliminated some of Arizona’s regulations and oversight of small modular reactors, technology that is largely under consideration by data centers and heavy industrial power users.

For the determination of fast neutron spectra, we propose a slowing down operator model whose number of terms increases with the needed accuracy without theoretical limit. This method can be used for elastic and inelastic slowing down and needs only the choice of an arbitrary fitting flux and the determination of some functions from this flux. Applications to the determinations of spectra and reaction rates are studied in various media including resonantelements. The practical interest of this method is its rapid convergence.
