Perpetual Atomics, QSA Global produce Am fuel for nuclear space power
U.K.-based Perpetual Atomics and U.S.-based QSA Global claim to have achieved a major step forward in processing americium dioxide to fuel radioisotope power systems used in space missions. Using an industrially scalable process, the companies said they have turned americium into stable, large-scale ceramic pellets that can be directly integrated into sealed sources for radioisotope power systems, including radioisotope heater units (RHUs) and radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs).

A representation for structured data is described that does not make use of a resonance parameter formalism and is applicable in a region where resonance parameters cannot be resolved or in a resolved resonance region where the precise location of a resonance is unimportant. Following the Probability Table Method, a representation statistically equivalent to a pointwise description of data is given but extended to characterize energy correlations. In the case of data from which higher order derivatives can be taken, a method for temperature broadening and unbroadening data is presented.
