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.

Proton emissions from the reaction of neutrons with stainless steel at a 14.6-MeV neutron energy are measured using a multitelescope system. A 1Cr18Ni9Ti (Type 321) stainless steel is used. The double-differential cross sections (DDCS) of 16 reaction angles from 25 to 165 deg are obtained in this measurement. The energy spectra and the angular distributions of proton emissions are obtained from the DDCS. The angular distributions show a slightly energy-dependent forward-backward asymmetry. The total proton emission cross section is 229 ± 16 mb for a proton energy >2 MeV.
