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.

Three neutron transport problems involving two different media are solved in two-group theory for isotropic scattering based on the singular-eigenfunction-expansion solution of the transport equation. This work has two purposes: First, it is shown that two-media problems in two-group theory can be reduced to regular computational forms using the half-range orthogonality theorem; second, in support of benchmark activities, three model problems are defined, and their solutions are reported based on an exact theory.
