ANS sends waste policy recommendations to DOE
The American Nuclear Society has sent a letter to Energy Secretary Chris Wright with a set of recommendations for the Department of Energy to take to establish an effective national program to manage the storage, reprocessing, and final disposal of U.S. commercial used nuclear fuel.

Neutron capture and transmission measurements were made on a sample of fission product palladium. The level parameters were obtained for 34 107Pd resonances below 700 eV. The observed average level spacing was 〈D〉 = (10.7 ± 1.5) eV, and the s-wave neutron strength function was determined to be 104 S0 = . The capture width Γγ for the 6.834-eV 107Pd resonance was deduced to be (125 ± 15) meV. Assuming that all 107Pd resonances have the same radiation width as the 6.834-eV resonance, the resonance capture integral for all 34 resonances is 87 b.
