The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

Beginning in 1984, the Three Mile Island Unit 2 Defueling Design Team requested Oak Ridge National Laboratory to supply criticality safety analyses in support of the licensing activities for all fuel removal operations. The computational methods and basic analytic models employed in the work are discussed, the areas where computational analyses were requested are reviewed, and the pertinent results are tabulated and discussed.
