New coolants, new fuels: A new generation of university reactors
Here’s an easy way to make aging U.S. power reactors look relatively youthful: Compare them (average age: 43) with the nation’s university research reactors. The 25 operating today have been licensed for an average of about 58 years.

Neutron transmission measurements from 100 eV to 170 keV at 150 m through four 238U samples are reported. The energy calibration is described, and the resultant 238U resolved resonance energies are found to be intermediate between those from other workers. In addition, some energies for sharp resonances in 23Na, 27Al, 32S, and 206Pb are given.
