Division Spotlight
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump issues executive orders to overhaul nuclear industry
The Trump administration issued four executive orders today aimed at boosting domestic nuclear deployment ahead of significant growth in projected energy demand in the coming decades.
During a live signing in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump called nuclear “a hot industry,” adding, “It’s a brilliant industry. [But] you’ve got to do it right. It’s become very safe and environmental.”

Calculations for the excitation functions of the 58Ni(n, )55Fe reaction, including those of the ground and first states of 55Fe, 58Ni(n, p+p)54Mn, 58Ni(n,2n)57Ni, 58Ni(n,n')58Ni, and 58Ni(n,np+pn)57Co reactions were carried out using nuclear reaction model codes. The results have been compared with reported measurements and evaluations. The available data on the 58Ni(n,n')58Ni, 58Ni(n,2n)57Ni, and 58Ni(n,np+pn+d)57Co reactions are described well by using the single-particle model for the calculation of gamma-ray transition probabilities of the excited states of 58Ni.
