Nuclear engineers called to take NCEES survey
The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing professional licensure for engineers and surveyors, is seeking nuclear engineers to participate in a professional activities and knowledge study (PAKS) that will be used to inform and update the content of the Nuclear Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam.

A method of solving the time-energy dependent problem in reactor physics is explained. This method uses an iterative process to solve the steady-state Boltzmann equation and takes advantage of the implicit time variable concealed in this equation and released by the iterative calculations. Various examples of calculations are presented for fast and thermal reactors. They reveal some interesting features of kinetics neutron population and provide information for understanding reactor kinetics and time-of-flight spectra obtained both in fast and thermal subcritical systems.
