New England governors announce joint support for nuclear energy
Millstone’s two pressurized water reactors in Waterford, Conn., and Seabrook’s single PWR in Seabrook, N.H., are the only power reactors in operation in the New England region, with total capacities at Millstone and Seabrook of 2,122 and 1,248 Net MWe, respectively.
The region’s governors, though, may seek to expand these numbers. The governors of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont issued a joint statement in support of exploring next-generation nuclear energy technologies. The bipartisan announcement also urges continued support for local nuclear facilities like Millstone and Seabrook.

Two-group calculations of the propagation of neutron waves across an absorption discontinuity in beryllium are reported. The first slab is assumed to be of finite width, while the second is taken to be of infinite dimensions. It is found that in the first slab, the effect of the interface is felt earlier for lower frequencies.
