Perpetual Atomics, QSA Global produce Am fuel for nuclear space power
U.K.-based Perpetual Atomics and U.S.-based QSA Global claim to have achieved a major step forward in processing americium dioxide to fuel radioisotope power systems used in space missions. Using an industrially scalable process, the companies said they have turned americium into stable, large-scale ceramic pellets that can be directly integrated into sealed sources for radioisotope power systems, including radioisotope heater units (RHUs) and radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs).

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.
