BREAKING NEWS: Trump issues executive orders to overhaul nuclear industry
The Trump administration issued four executive orders today aimed at boosting domestic nuclear deployment ahead of significant growth in projected energy demand in the coming decades.
During a live signing in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump called nuclear “a hot industry,” adding, “It’s a brilliant industry. [But] you’ve got to do it right. It’s become very safe and environmental.”

The energy spectra and angular distributions of the proton emission from the 93Nb(n,xp) reaction are measured by means of the multitelescope system at the University of Science and Technology of China. The total proton production cross sections are in fair agreement with the results obtained by other groups. The energy spectrum is explained well by the sum of the spectra calculated on the basis of the pre-equilibrium and Hauser-Feshbach theories. There are deviations from a previous measurement of the high-energy end of the angle-integrated proton spectrum. The angular distribution, which shows a strongly energy-dependent forward-backward asymmetry, is in fair agreement with the Kalbach-Mann phenomenological model.
