G7 pledges support for nuclear at Italy meeting
The Group of Seven (G7) recommitted its support for nuclear energy in the countries that opt to use it at a Ministerial Meeting on Climate in Italy last month.
In a statement following the April meeting, the group committed to support multilateral efforts to strengthen the resilience of nuclear supply chains, referencing the goal set by 25 countries during last year’s COP28 climate conference in Dubai to triple global nuclear generating capacity by 2050.

The problem of linear transport in a stationary stochastic medium is examined in the context of stochastic geometry. Boolean models of stochastic media allow calculation of density correlations without use of Markovian assumptions. Most correlation functions are well represented by linear combinations of a few exponentials. Systems of integrodifferential equations are obtained either (a) by a perturbative treatment or (b) by truncation of the hierarchy of moments. The presence of an integral term (i.e., a nonlocal flux) can be avoided by the use of an approximate equivalence between the product of the transport Green function by an exponential with the transport Green function of a modified problem. Introduction of auxiliary unknowns gives rise to a system of coupled Boltzmann equations describing the ensemble average of the flux.
