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.”

The differential cross sections of the 10B(n, )7Li reaction were measured at 4.17, 5.02, 5.74, and 6.52 MeV by using a gridded ionization chamber. Neutrons were produced through the D(d,n)3He reaction. The absolute neutron flux was determined through the 238U(n,f) reaction. The experiment shows that as the neutron energy increases from 4.17 to 6.52 MeV, the differential cross section changes from almost 90-deg symmetry to obviously backward peaked in the center-of-mass reference system.
