60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

Measurement of the energy spectra of delayed neutrons for the isotope-separated, fission product precursors 87Br, 88Br, 89Br, 90Br, 137I, 138I, 139I, and 136Te are reported for an energy range up to 1213 keV and with lower cutoff energies of 11.1, 11.1, 29.9, 48.9, 14.2, 23.3, 29.9, and 48.9 keV, respectively. These data were obtained at the TRISTAN Isotope Separation On-Line facility using H2 and CH4 gas-filled proportional counters. The data for each of the bromine, iodine, and tellurium isotopes show good qualitative agreement with the published 3He ionization chamber data at energies above ∼200 keV. In addition, they provide definitive spectral information down to their respective cutoff energies.
