NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

An accurate and computationally efficient numerical method for solving the two-group, multidimensional transient neutron diffusion equations with feedback is discussed. The method employs an approximation for the spatial shape of the thermal fluxes. The results of the test problems demonstrate that the convergence of the iteration scheme can be accelerated, and the resulting computing time can be greatly reduced while maintaining computational accuracy.
