60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

The singular differential equations of arbitrary order, derived in a tensorial approximation to the integral transport for monoenergetic neutrons in slab and sphere geometries, are solved by a power series expansion without imposing any boundary condition. The relation to the exact integral transport approach is theoretically studied, and numerical calculations for the tensorial differential approach are worked out.
