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.

A general systematic method to reduce multiregion problems in plane geometry to regular integral equations for the coefficients of singular-eigenfunction expansions is proposed. The method is based on the half-range orthogonality relations of the eigenfunctions and is applicable in two-groups as well as one-group theory. The method is used to solve two problems in one-group theory for isotropic scattering: the Milne problem for a half-space bounded by a slab of dissimilar medium and a problem of neutron transmission through two slabs. Numerical results are reported for several sets of parameters.
