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.”

Measurements of the double-differential thick-target neutron yield are made for 75- and 120-MeV 12C5+, 153-MeV 16O5+, and 40-MeV alpha particles bombarding carbon, aluminum, copper, and lead targets. The measured data are parameterized by using the two-component moving source model. The systematic variation of the equilibrium neutron (EN) yield with incident ions and targets is analyzed by using the thus-obtained moving source parameters, and a simple expression is proposed to describe the systematics in the EN yield. The systematic change in the nonequilibrium neutron (NEN) yield was formulated to a simple expression by using the local hot spot model. The proposed expression reproduced well the measured EN and NEN yields.
