New consortium to address industry need for nuclear heat and power
Hoping to tackle a growing global demand for energy, The Open Group, a vendor-neutral technology and standards membership organization, has announced the formation of the Industrial Advanced Nuclear Consortium (IANC) to collaborate on finding advanced nuclear energy solutions to serve industrial customers.

The Monte Carlo generalized rejection technique provides a continuous passage from the inverse equation sampling method to the uniform sampling rejection method; it is well known that the nonuniform rejection method can be used to achieve very significant increases in sampling efficiency. We have applied the nonuniform rejection method to the Klein-Nishina Probability Density Function and have obtained improved efficiencies over the uniform sampling method of up to 100% at high gamma-ray energies and 10 to 60% improved efficiencies in the energy range from 0.3 to 1.5 MeV, respectively.
