Powering the future: How the DOE is fueling nuclear fuel cycle research and development
As global interest in nuclear energy surges, the United States must remain at the forefront of research and development to ensure national energy security, advance nuclear technologies, and promote international cooperation on safety and nonproliferation. A crucial step in achieving this is analyzing how funding and resources are allocated to better understand how to direct future research and development. The Department of Energy has spearheaded this effort by funding hundreds of research projects across the country through the Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP). This initiative has empowered dozens of universities to collaborate toward a nuclear-friendly future.

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.
