New consortium to address industry need for nuclear heat and power
Hoping to tackle a growing global demand for energy, The Open Group, a vendor-neutral technology and standards membership organization, has announced the formation of the Industrial Advanced Nuclear Consortium (IANC) to collaborate on finding advanced nuclear energy solutions to serve industrial customers.

Empirical expressions are given for the excitation functions of a number of (n, n'), (n, p), and (n, f) reactions useful in the dosimetry of fast neutrons. For fission cross sections, the expressions are fitted to existing evaluations while for activation cross sections, they are fitted to recent experimental data. Average cross sections, derived from these expressions, for various fission neutron spectra are compared with measured values.
