Team brings quantum computing into FLiBe chemistry calculations
Researchers have reported using a combination of quantum and classical computing to calculate chemistry connected to tritium speciation in a FLiBe—lithium fluoride and beryllium fluoride—molten salt blanket, demonstrating a promising direction for unlocking tritium breeding in fusion machines.

The 233, 234, 236, 238U fission cross sections have been measured relative to 235U(n, f) for incident neutron energies from 200 KeV to 200 MeV using neutron time-of-flight at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The results are generally consistent with the current ENDF/B-VII evaluation, but some discrepancies with previous measurements above 20 to 30 MeV are observed. These measurements are part of a campaign to measure fission cross sections with high precision in support of fast reactor technology.
