Aalo Atomics discusses the road ahead
Yasir Arafat, president and chief technology officer of Aalo Atomics, participated in the first day of sessions at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s annual Regulatory Information Conference (RIC). There, he recapped some of the company’s recent milestones and revealed new details on what lies ahead for Aalo.
His attendance at the event coincided with a number of announcements in the past two weeks. Those announcements covered new contracts with Global Nuclear Fuel and Baker Hughes, the release of a new strategic roadmap, the completion of fuel enrichment by Urenco USA, and a new approval from the Department of Energy.

The transport equation is considered in toroidal geometry using an expansion of Ψ(r, Ω) in unnormalized spherical harmonics, i.e., with being associated Legendre polynomials. The variable r is the position vector and Ω the direction with axial and azimuthal angles θ and , respectively. Equations for ψlm(r) and γlm(r) are obtained and a method of solution that has worked in other geometries is outlined.
