New report lays out path to U.S. nuclear energy dominance
The new report “How America Can Achieve Nuclear Energy Dominance,” from the Working Group on U.S. Nuclear Energy Dominance, outlines a plan of action for the Trump administration that includes deploying new nuclear reactors, developing domestic supply chains, promoting nuclear exports, reforming regulations, and developing the workforce.
Working group chair Todd Abrajano said, “We welcome the Trump administration’s bold moves to kick-start the U.S. nuclear energy sector, but we recognize that President Trump’s executive orders alone can’t achieve our goals.”

We examine in this work one of the exact solutions of the conservative transport equation for isotropic scattering in spherical geometry, specifically the solution that is singular at the origin and vanishes at infinity. Two representations are known for that solution: one expressed as an infinite divergent series that is derived from the spherical harmonics method and another given by an integral that results from the technique of integration along the particle path and is confirmed here by the method of characteristics. We establish a connection between these representations by showing that the Borel sum of the first reproduces the latter. We also examine computational aspects of the solution expressed in various forms and discuss some standing issues related to it.
