New York publishes paper on new nuclear options, launches Nuclear Reliability Backbone
New York’s ambitious efforts to add at least 5 gigawatts of new nuclear power raise several questions: How much will it cost the state, the federal government, and ratepayers? Where does private investment fit into the picture? What nuclear reactor designs should developers pursue?
To provide clarity and direction to these and other concerns, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and Department of Public Service issued the preliminary draft of its advanced nuclear policy options paper on June 12.

This technical note models the concept of fuzziness along with the stochastic behavior of the point-kinetics neutron equation. The fuzzy stochastic model is investigated numerically by extending the Euler-Maruyama method to fuzzy form. The uncertain neutron density and delayed neutron population are obtained and compared with Monte Carlo and stochastic principal component analysis solutions. Various combinations of fuzzy parameters are considered, and the uncertain neutron density and delayed neutron population are obtained in different cases. Finally, the sensitivity of these fuzzy parameters with stochastic behavior is investigated.
