NSI report addresses supply chain bottlenecks
A new report commissioned by the Nuclear Scaling Initiative, conducted by energy consultant Solestiss, and funded by the Bezos Earth Fund, identifies and recommends solutions to overcome current bottlenecks in the supply chain for advanced reactors.
Broadly speaking, the report recommends the repeated deployment of Gen III+ reactor designs to rebuild the foundation of domestic manufacturing, workforce, and qualification capacity.

Neutron multiplicities for several targets and spallation products of proton-induced reactions in thin targets of interest to an accelerator-driven system obtained with the CRISP code have been reported. This code is a Monte Carlo calculation that simulates the intranuclear cascade and evaporation/fission competition processes. Results are compared with experimental data, and agreement between each other can be considered quite satisfactory in a very broad energy range of incitant particles and different targets.
