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 gridded ionization chamber was used to measure the differential cross sections for tritons from the 6Li(n,t)4He reaction at 3.67 and 4.42 MeV. Neutrons were produced via the D(d,n)3He reaction. The absolute neutron flux was determined through the 238U(n,f) and H(n,p) reactions. At 3.67 MeV the result is almost 90 deg symmetric, but it is obviously forward peaked at 4.42 MeV in the center-of-mass reference system.
