TVA nominees promise to support advanced reactor development
Four nominees to serve on the Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee that they support the build-out of new advanced nuclear reactors to meet the increased energy demand being shouldered by the country’s largest public utility.

Discrete eigenvalues of a one-speed linear transport equation with anisotropic scattering are studied. It is shown that there is only one pair of real discrete eigenvalues for linear, quadratic, or triplet scattering for a nonmultiplicative medium. For a multiplicative medium there is one imaginary pair of eigenvalues or at most four eigenvalues. These can form one real and one imaginary pair, two imaginary pairs, or a quartet. The range of parameters for these different situations is derived analytically. These are then supported by numerical results that are tabulated in tables for each type of scattering.
