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.

The Greuling-Goertzel approximation is applied to the calculation of neutron slowing down in heavy water in the B1 and P1 approximations. Numerical calculations of the flux and nonescape probability assuming constant cross sections indicate the “inconsistent” G-G B1 approximation to be the most favorable. Existing machine codes can readily be modified to this method.
