Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

The neutron scattering cross section of U233 has been measured relative to that of copper below 20 ev on the Materials Testing Reactor fast chopper. The observed scattering cross section is adequately described by previously obtained multilevel parameters, which give a value for the potential scattering of 12.6 b. The data are not of high enough quality to permit the assigning of spins to the resonances.
