Congress passes new nuclear funding
On January 15, in an 82–14 vote, the U.S. Senate passed an Energy and Water Development appropriations bill to fund the U.S. Department of Energy for fiscal year 2026 as part of a broader package that also funded the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

Consistent calculation and analysis of neutron scattering data of 232,234,236,238,240U with a spherical optical model, the unified Hauser-Feshbach theory and the exciton model, the linear angular momentum-dependent exciton state density model, and the coupled channel theory are carried above the resolved resonance range and below 20 MeV based on the experimental data of total, nonelastic-scattering, fission, and other reaction cross sections and elastic-scattering angular distributions. Theoretical calculations are compared with experimental data and other evaluated data from ENDF/B-VII and JENDL-3.3.
