G7 pledges support for nuclear at Italy meeting
The Group of Seven (G7) recommitted its support for nuclear energy in the countries that opt to use it at a Ministerial Meeting on Climate in Italy last month.
In a statement following the April meeting, the group committed to support multilateral efforts to strengthen the resilience of nuclear supply chains, referencing the goal set by 25 countries during last year’s COP28 climate conference in Dubai to triple global nuclear generating capacity by 2050.

This paper discusses the physical and mathematical foundations and possible applications of the intensity correlation method for spatial three-dimensional (3-D) positional detection (finding the 3-D spatial position) of distant γ-ray or neutrino sources in real time or after a set of registered events. This method is based on the correlation of intensities of event sequences measured by several spaced-apart distant detectors. A specific consideration is made of the possibility of using a correlation intensities method for the analysis of the processes within a nuclear reactor, for the search of the hypothetical intra-terrestrial georeactor (planetocentric nuclear fission reactors), for the optimization of the method of single-photon-emission-computed tomography in medicine, and for other applications. The conditions of successful applications of the intensity correlation method for these systems are determined. The main problem with this method is connected to a relatively low count rate of registered neutrino events.
