A focus on clean energy transition
Michigan-based consulting firm Ducker Carlisle has released a report that outlines projected developments and opportunities as well as potential problems in the global shift to cleaner power. Global Energy Transition Outlook predicts that market growth will happen not only in large-scale utility upgrades but also in small- and mid-scale electrification projects.

Neutron kinetics investigations at the zero-power LR-0 reactor in Czechoslovakia are described. The reactor is fueled with WWER-1000 assemblies. Reactivity perturbations generated by absorber cluster movements are investigated. It can be shown that, under certain conditions, space-dependent effects can be corrected by a simple model. The experimental results are used to verify a nodal three-dimensional, two-group neutron kinetics code.
