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.”

Measurements of the energy spectra of delayed neutrons for the isotope-separated, fission product precursors 93-97Rb and 143-145Cs, over the energy region from ∼10 to ∼1300 keV, are reported. These data were obtained at the TRISTAN ISOL facility using gas-filled proton-recoil proportional counters. The data for each of the rubidium and cesium isotopes show good qualitative agreement with the existing 3He ionization chamber data at energies above ∼200 keV. In addition, they provide definitive spectral information down to ∼10 keV. Of particular note is the observation of line structure below ∼200 keV with energy resolution much better than that obtained using 3He ionization chambers.
