Illinois legislature lifts ban on nuclear energy, funds clean energy
The Illinois General Assembly passed a clean energy bill on October 30 that would, in part, lift a 30-year moratorium on new nuclear energy in the state and create incentives for more energy storage.

A new technique has been employed to generate Legendre components of group-to-group neutron scattering cross-section matrices for two-body interactions. This semianalytic procedure, which treats the rapidly fluctuating cross-section behavior analytically, has been incorporated in the MINX processor, a code for the Multigroup Interpretation of Nuclear X-sections. The algorithm requires only a minimum of numerical approximations and uses recursive formulas well suited to performing the required integrations. A flexible energy integration mesh is employed so that localized resonance phenomena may be adequately represented.
