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.”

A model is described for inelastic hadron/nucleus interactions at energies between 0.1 and 5 GeV. The model includes particle production, described by a previous model, and cascade proton and neutron emission, described via empirical formulas and nuclear excitation energy. All stable hadrons can be used as primary or secondary particles. The model is constructed via the Monte Carlo generation of complete events. Average multiplicities and single and double differential cross sections are compared with experimental data and find good agreement.
