World Bank, IAEA partner to fund nuclear energy
The World Bank and the International Atomic Energy Agency signed an agreement last week to cooperate on the construction and financing of advanced nuclear projects in developing countries, marking the first partnership since the bank ended its ban on funding for nuclear energy projects.

Space-time neutronic behavior of CANDU reactors is of importance in the analysis and design of reactor safety systems. A methodology has been developed for simulating CANDU space-time neu-tronics with application to the analysis of postulated loss-of-coolant accidents. The approach involves the efficient use of a set of computer codes that provides a capability to perform simulations ranging from detailed, accurate three-dimensional space-time to low-cost survey calculations using point kinetics with some “effective” spatial content. A new space-time kinetics code based on a modal expansion approach is described. This code provides an inexpensive and relatively accurate scoping tool for detailed three-dimensional space-time simulations.
