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.

Two schemes are proposed in which solutions to the three-dimensional transport equation can be synthesized from two-dimensional transport solutions. Derivations are presented which employ a weighted residual technique applied to the second order (even parity in the direction vector Ω) form of the transport equation. Numerical testing indicates that for problems in which transport effects are restricted to the trial function planes, where synthesis axis leakage can be described by diffusion theory, the transport synthesis schemes perform very well.
