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.”

Delayed neutron yields and decay constants for 235U, 237Np, 241Am, and 243Am were measured at the Texas A&M University TRIG A reactor using a fast pneumatic transfer system. The detection system consisted of an array of BF3 proportional counters embedded in a polyethylene cylinder. The measured values of the total delayed neutron yield per 100 fissions from thermal neutron-induced fission of 235U, 237Np, 241Am, and 243Am were determined to be 1.59 ± 0.04, 1.29 ± 0.04, 0.49 ± 0.02, and 0.84 ± 0.04, respectively. The newly measured values of delayed neutron group parameters and total yields were compared with other values recommended by Keepin; Waldo, Karam, and Meyer; and Tuttle. Very good agreement was obtained, especially for 235U.
