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.

Using the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator pulsed neutron source and a 1-mm-thick lithium glass detector, neutron transmission spectra through 232Th have been measured at 22- and 40-m flight paths. At 22 m, transmission spectra through samples of five thicknesses were measured from 7 meV to 15 eV. At 40 m, spectra through samples of eight thicknesses were measured from 15 eV to 4 keV. The resulting total cross section from 0.1 to 20.0 eV is smaller than that given by the ENDF/B-V evaluation. Least-squares shape analysis of the transmissions up to 2.0 keV gives larger neutron widths above 0.5 keV than those previously reported. An average radiation width of 25.2 meV is obtained for 19 low-energy s-wave resonances.
