New coolants, new fuels: A new generation of university reactors
Here’s an easy way to make aging U.S. power reactors look relatively youthful: Compare them (average age: 43) with the nation’s university research reactors. The 25 operating today have been licensed for an average of about 58 years.

Within the framework of the Hauser-Feshbach-Moldauer formalism for calculating fast-neutron cross sections, resonance interference effects are contained in the parameter Q. This parameter is shown to be a function of the corresponding transmission coefficients. From a parametric analysis of Q and of the channel coefficients, it is concluded that resonance interference has a negligible effect on the calculated cross sections.
