60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

The 232Th(p,xn) and 232Th(p,np) cross sections for incident proton energies in the range of 10 to 1600 MeV have been calculated by using a cascade-exiton model (CEM) combining essential features of the exciton model and intranuclear cascade models. The level density parameter effects are investigated. The calculation results are compared with the available measured data.
