Fixing the barriers: How new policies can make U.S. nuclear exports competitive again
The United States has a strong marketplace of ideas on future civil nuclear technology. President Trump wants to see 10 large reactors under construction by 2030 and has discussed making $80 billion available for that objective. Evolutionary small modular reactors based on light water reactor technology are on the market now, and the Tennessee Valley Authority expects a construction permit for a project at its Clinch River Site later this year.

Samples used in Doppler-effect measurements in fast critical assemblies distort the flux in their vicinity. For fissile samples whose Doppler effect depends strongly on spectrum, this distortion may strongly affect the measured results. An integral transport method for computing distorted real and adjoint fluxes is developed and the fissile-sample Doppler measurements in a fast critical assembly, ZPR-6 Assembly 7, are analyzed. It was found that the local flux distortions strongly affect the results and for a PuO2 sample even change the algebraic sign of the Doppler effect.
