Nuclear News 40 Under 40: The wait is over
Following the enthusiastic response from the nuclear community in 2024 for the inaugural NN 40 Under 40, the Nuclear News team knew we had to take up the difficult task in 2025 of turning it into an annual event—though there was plenty of uncertainty as to how the community would receive a second iteration this year. That uncertainty was unfounded, clearly, as the tight-knit nuclear community embraced the chance to celebrate its up-and-coming generation of scientists, engineers, and policy makers who are working to grow the influence of this oft-misunderstood technology.

Neutron parameters were measured in Phase-I experiments of JAERI/USDOE collaborative program. A brief description of the experimental systems and measuring techniques is given. The range of measured source neutron spectrum is from a few keV to 16 MeV by the use of proton-recoil counters and a small NE213 spectrometer. Tritium production rates were measured by on-line and integral type techniques. The in-system scalar spectra were measured by the NE213 spectrometer. Foil activation method was applied to obtain the reaction rate distributions.
