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.”

Doppler broadening line shapes of 0.4776-MeV gamma transition of 7Li* populated in the 9Be(n,t1) reaction at 14.9 MeV have been analyzed at 40-, 55-, and 90-deg detector positions in respect to the beam axis for the evaluation of the angular distribution W() of outgoing tritons (t1) after the population of first 7Li excited state. A nonsymmetrical shape of the W() dependence with the Legendre polynomial coefficients A1 = 0.31 ± 0.06 and A2 = 0.23 ± 0.06 has been found. That fact does not support the belief in the simple nuclear reaction mechanism through the single isolated level of 10Be compound. Obtained data are compared with other available experimental results.
