MARVEL PDSA approval could serve as blueprint
MARVEL, the Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation project at Idaho National Laboratory, has had its preliminary documented safety analysis approved by the Department of Energy, marking a milestone in its development and serving as a potential outline for other microreactors in development.

Total cross sections for the emission of protons and alpha particles have been measured for 9.4- and 11-MeV neutrons incident on a 4.11 mg/cm2 thick Type 316 stainless steel target. A newly developed charged-particle time-of-flight spectrometer was used to obtain (n, xp) and (n, xα) cross-section data. The measured gas-production cross sections have been compared with the values predicted on the basis of measured or calculated cross sections of the constituent materials.
