EPA administrator Lee Zeldin talks the future of nuclear
In a recent interview on New York radio station 77 WABC, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin talked with host John Catsimatidis about the near-term future of the domestic nuclear industry and the role the EPA will play in the sector.
Catsimatidis kicked off the interview by asking if the U.S. will be able to reach total energy independence. Zeldin responded by saying that decreasing energy dependence on other countries, especially adversaries, was a top priority for him and the Trump administration.

Pulsed-neutron experiments have been made on two organic-moderated and -reflected coupled cores of the ROSPO (a zero-power organic-moderated reactor) nuclear system in order to investigate their time response and to measure some kinetic parameters. At least for loose coupling, the fundamental mode has been observed to have two time-decay constants in any point of the system (except in the vertical symmetry plane), which are strongly interrelated. For two identical cores, these decay constants can give separate information on the intrinsic and coupling reactivity as well as on the reduced neutron lifetime of the system.
