Construction license application submitted for Poland’s first nuclear plant
Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe, Poland’s state-owned utility, has formally submitted an application for a construction license to build a nuclear power plant at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site in Pomerania. The country’s first nuclear power plant will consist of three Westinghouse AP1000 units with a total installed capacity of 3,750 MWe. The construction and engineering contractor for the project is a U.S.-based consortium of Westinghouse and Bechtel.

A formalism has been given for determining monoenergetic diffusion theory flux peaking at a sharp corner. Advantage is taken of the special behavior of a Bessel function which seldom occurs in the literature. Specific and simple formulas are presented for the peaking, with quantitative guides for their mathematical accuracy when the formulae are known to be approximate.
