Supreme Court nixes Beyond Nuclear’s CISF challenge
The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a petition by antinuclear group Beyond Nuclear challenging the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s licensing of Holtec International’s proposed consolidated interim storage facility (CISF) for spent nuclear fuel in New Mexico.
The denial of Beyond Nuclear’s writ of certiorari petition was part of a long list of orders released by the Supreme Court on Monday. The list also included a denial of Duke Energy’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling in an antimonopoly dispute.

Here, we are concerned with a new, highly precise, numerical solution to the one-dimensional neutron transport equation based on Case’s analytical, singular eigenfunction expansion (SEE). While a considerable number of numerical solutions currently exist, understandably, because of its complexity even in one dimension, there are only a few truly analytical solutions to the neutron transport equation. In 1960, Case introduced a consistent theory of the SEE for a variety of idealized transport problems and forever changed the landscape of analytical transport theory. Several numerical methods, including the Fn method, were based on the theory. What is presented is yet another, called the Lagrange order N method (LNM) featuring the simplicity and precision of the Fn method, but for a more convenient and natural Lagrangian polynomial basis.
