Serbian officials lay out nuclear energy timeline
Serbia reached a significant milestone in 2024 when its National Assembly overturned a moratorium on nuclear power plants that had been in place for 35 years, a ban imposed when the country was part of the former Yugoslavia.
Fast forward to 2026 and the European country’s nuclear energy ambitions have become clearer. On July 13, Serbia’s Ministry of Mining and Energy held a four-day workshop outlining the country’s plans to kickstart a nuclear program.

Evaluation of cross-section data for various collision processes is now being made by many groups. But the results (i.e., recommended data) are often different from each other depending on who evaluates them. An evaluation (or validation) of the evaluated data is necessary. Three examples of the activity are shown here: (a) consistency check of the total scattering cross section, (b) calculation of the swarm parameters, and (c) chemical modeling. For the first two cases, a demonstration is performed with the use of the cross-section sets recommended for the electron collisions with N2 and O2 by the present author.
