The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

Sutton's diffusion equation, which is commonly used for the computation of atmospheric dispersion of fission products, is modified to account for the effect of dilution of the fission products due to mixing of the contaminated air inside the reactor building with clean air prior to exhaust. The effect of radioactive decay is also considered. The resulting integral equation is solved for a specific example using a Romberg integration subroutine and the application of the equation to a washout calculation is described.
