Division Spotlight
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

Hinkley Point C gets over $6 billion in financing from Apollo
U.S.-based private capital group Apollo Global has committed £4.5 billion ($6.13 billion) in financing to EDF Energy, primarily to support the U.K.’s Hinkley Point C station. The move addresses funding needs left unmet since China General Nuclear Power Corporation—which originally planned to pay for one-third of the project—exited in 2023 amid U.K. government efforts to reduce Chinese involvement.

Energy-averaged total neutron cross sections of elemental vanadium were measured from ∼1.0 to 5.5 MeV. Differential elastic and inelastic neutron scattering cross sections were measured from 1.8 to 4.0 MeV. Neutrons corresponding to the excitation of states in vanadium at 321 ± 10, 938 ± 15, 1603 ± 19, 1811 ± 21, 2409 ± 27, ∼2500, 2706 ± 30, and 2773 ± 30 keV were observed. These experimental results were used to deduce an energy-averaged nuclear model suitable for extrapolating the measured values and calculating unmeasured cross sections for applied use.
