NRC looks to leverage previous approvals for large LWRs
During this time of resurging interest in nuclear power, many conversations have centered on one fundamental problem: Electricity is needed now, but nuclear projects (in recent decades) have taken many years to get permitted and built.
In the past few years, a bevy of new strategies have been pursued to fix this problem. Workforce programs that seek to laterally transition skilled people from other industries, plans to reuse the transmission infrastructure at shuttered coal sites, efforts to restart plants like Palisades or Duane Arnold, new reactor designs that build on the legacy of research done in the early days of atomic power—all of these plans share a common throughline: leveraging work already done instead of starting over from square one to get new plants designed and built.

A method for solving systems of two or more singular integral equations with Cauchy kernel (or equivalent systems of the Wiener-Hopf type) is indicated. The class of systems considered is neither physically nor mathematically trivial. The proposed technique is applicable to some problems of neutron transport in the many-group approximation as well as to transport problems in different fields.
