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.

To date, most of the work done using the response matrix technique has involved one-dimensional slab problems. In this paper, the method is applied to two-dimensional slab problems and the results are compared with Monte Carlo calculations. It was found that the error due to the numerical treatment of the spatial distribution could be substantial. However, various corrections based on physical arguments were found which significantly improved the results.
