U.K. vision for fusion
The U.K. government has announced a series of initiatives to progress fusion to commercialization, laid out in a fusion strategy policy paper published March 16. A New Energy Revolution: The UK’s Plan for Delivering Fusion Energy begins to describe how the government’s £2.5 billion (about $3.4 billion) investment in fusion research and development over five years will be allocated.

Proton emissions from the reaction of neutrons with stainless steel at a 14.6-MeV neutron energy are measured using a multitelescope system. A 1Cr18Ni9Ti (Type 321) stainless steel is used. The double-differential cross sections (DDCS) of 16 reaction angles from 25 to 165 deg are obtained in this measurement. The energy spectra and the angular distributions of proton emissions are obtained from the DDCS. The angular distributions show a slightly energy-dependent forward-backward asymmetry. The total proton emission cross section is 229 ± 16 mb for a proton energy >2 MeV.
