Division Spotlight
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

Judge temporarily blocks DOE’s move to slash university research funding
A group of universities led by the American Association of Universities (AAU) acted swiftly to oppose a policy action by the Department of Energy that would cut the funds it pays to universities for the indirect costs of research under DOE grants. The group filed suit Monday, April 14, challenging a what it termed a “flagrantly unlawful action” that could “devastate scientific research at America’s universities.”
By Wednesday, the U.S. District Court judge hearing the case issued a temporary restraining order effective nationwide, preventing the DOE from implementing the policy or terminating any existing grants.

Discrete eigenvalues of a one-speed linear transport equation with anisotropic scattering are studied. It is shown that there is only one pair of real discrete eigenvalues for linear, quadratic, or triplet scattering for a nonmultiplicative medium. For a multiplicative medium there is one imaginary pair of eigenvalues or at most four eigenvalues. These can form one real and one imaginary pair, two imaginary pairs, or a quartet. The range of parameters for these different situations is derived analytically. These are then supported by numerical results that are tabulated in tables for each type of scattering.
