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.

Cross sections of the 58Ni(n,p)58Co, 51Co(n,p)59Fe, 51V(n,α)48Sc, and 59Co(n,2n)58Co reactions and isomer ratios for the 58Ni(n,p)58Co reaction were measured for some neutron energies between 9 and 14 MeV. Neutron spectrometry, with an NE-213 scintillation detector, of the beams from the D(d,n)3He reaction was used to evaluate the activation induced by breakup neutrons on natural nickel, cobalt, vanadium, and aluminum-monitor targets. The results are compared with earlier measurements and with theoretical calculations performed with the aid of the GNASH code (Hauser-Feschbach model including pre-equilibrium corrections).
