Division Spotlight
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

The monoenergetic transport equation with isotropic scattering and vacuum boundary conditions is applied to two-media spherical and plane systems. The mean-free-path is assumed to be the same even though the multiplication factors are different in both media. The two coupled integral equations that are obtained are numerically solved using the spatial Legendre polynomial method (Carlvik’s method). Tables of seven or more eigenvalues for various dimensions of the bodies are given, and the first five flux modes for some cases are plotted. In addition, for homogeneous systems, we present more accurate and higher eigenvalues than those thus far known.
