Here is a recap of recent industry happenings:
Supply chain contract signed for Aurora
Oklo, the California-based developer of the Aurora Powerhouse sodium-cooled fast-neutron reactor, has signed a contract with Siemens Energy that is meant to de-risk supply chain and production timeline challenges for Oklo. Under the terms, Siemens will design and deliver the power conversion system for the Powerhouse, which is to be deployed at Idaho National Laboratory.

Composite delayed neutron energy spectra from the thermal neutron fission of 235U have been measured for eight delay-time intervals between 0.17 and 85.5 s. Our experimental technique combines a helium-jet and tape transfer system with a beta-neutron time-of-flight spectrometer. The neutron energy range of 0.01 to 2.0 MeV is spanned with 6Li-glass, plastic, and liquid scintillators. Spectra are compared to ENDF/B-V as well as to individual precursors' data and average energies are tabulated for the present and previous compilations. An equilibrium spectrum is also calculated and compared to ENDF/B-V and individual precursor measurements.
