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.

A hybrid collocation-Galerkin-Sn method for solving the one-dimensional Boltzmann transport equation is presented. For problems with highly anisotropic scattering, this method offers many advantages relative to the standard Sn method. It is particularly useful for charged-particle calculations and can be implemented easily in standard Sn codes without changes to the standard solution algorithm. The hybrid method is compared with the standard method both theoretically and computationally.
