Researchers use one-of-a-kind expertise and capabilities to test fuels of tomorrow
At the Idaho National Laboratory Hot Fuel Examination Facility, containment box operator Jake Maupin moves a manipulator arm into position around a pencil-thin nuclear fuel rod. He is preparing for a procedure that he and his colleagues have practiced repeatedly in anticipation of this moment in the hot cell.

A general procedure is given for calculating the double differential cross section for a two-body sequential decay reaction, given the angular distributions for the initial and decay reactions. The kinematics, reference frame transformations, and the Jacobians required for transforming the cross sections are developed for the general two-body sequential decay reaction.
