NECX debut: Shaping the next era of energy
The sold-out inaugural Nuclear Energy Conference & Expo (NECX) got off to a bumping start in Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday morning with an opening plenary that felt like part dance party and part highlight reel showing off the latest industry achievements.
That intro left the audience pumped up for Entergy’s CEO and NEI chair Drew Marsh, who welcomed everyone to the event, hosted jointly by the American Nuclear Society and the Nuclear Energy Institute. He spoke to a full house of more than 1,300 attendees, promising a blend of science, technology, policy, and advocacy centered around the future of nuclear energy.

Measurements have been made to determine the effect of mutual shielding on the resonance absorption of neutrons by tightly packed thorium oxide lattice pins. From these measurements, correction factors have been obtained for reducing the results of single-pin resonance integral measurements to the effective lattice values. A comparison of the experimental results with the predictions of the theory of Dancoff and Ginsburg is included.
