Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

Differential cross sections for neutrons scattered elastically from 6Li and 7Li have been measured at 14 incident neutron energies between 4 and 7.5 MeV. For 7Li, neutrons inelastically scattered from the 0.478 MeV-level were not resolved from the elastic group and have been included with the elastic group in calculating the cross sections. The present 6Li data are in good agreement with the ENDF/B-IV evaluation, while the present 7Li(n,n0 + n1) data are generally larger than the corresponding ENDF/B-IV evaluation particularly at forward angles.
