New consortium to address industry need for nuclear heat and power
Hoping to tackle a growing global demand for energy, The Open Group, a vendor-neutral technology and standards membership organization, has announced the formation of the Industrial Advanced Nuclear Consortium (IANC) to collaborate on finding advanced nuclear energy solutions to serve industrial customers.

Spherical lithium-metal assemblies with and without a graphite reflector were prepared by stacking lithium arid graphite blocks to investigate the neu-tronics in the fusion reactor blanket. The ratio of 238 U-to-285U fission rates was measured by micro -fission chambers. The fission ratio was calculated by the one-dimensional transport code ANISN with the Pg-Sg approximation using a 42-group neutron cross-section set. The fission ratios measured in the lithium-metal assembly without a graphite reflector agree well with the calculated ones. In the assembly with a graphite reflector, however, there is a large discrepancy between experiment and calculation.
