BREAKING NEWS: Trump issues executive orders to overhaul nuclear industry
The Trump administration issued four executive orders today aimed at boosting domestic nuclear deployment ahead of significant growth in projected energy demand in the coming decades.
During a live signing in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump called nuclear “a hot industry,” adding, “It’s a brilliant industry. [But] you’ve got to do it right. It’s become very safe and environmental.”

Neutron scattering cross sections were determined experimentally for more than ten elements in the energy region between 8 and 14 MeV. Comprehensive measuring and data analysis methods were elaborated to obtain cross sections with the highest precision presently possible. The experimental procedure was extended in such a way that cross sections of the complete neutron emission spectrum ranging down to the energy of 1.5 MeV could be derived, thus overcoming the problems usually arising when a nonmonoenergetic neutron source is applied. Typical results are selected for discussion and comparison with the results of other authors and with results taken from several libraries of evaluated neutron data.
