Ohio announces $100M Energy Opportunity Initiative fund
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine recently announced the creation of the new JobsOhio Energy Opportunity Initiative, a $100 million fund that will be used in part to attract supply chain companies for small modular reactor manufacturing and for the creation of “nuclear energy center of excellence.”

The one-speed neutron transport equation with anisotropic scattering is investigated by the method of partial-range Legendre-polynomial analysis. It is found that appropriate conditions on the spatial moments can be specified by suitable integral operations of the partial-range polynomials. A numerical test suggests that such an analysis does possess potential merit for calculating some neutron transport parameters to a high degree of accuracy even in a low order approximation.
