60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

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.
