Kentucky legislature sends nuclear bills to governor
Kentucky’s Republican-majority legislature passed a bill this past week that could bring nuclear energy to the “coal-is-king” state as lawmakers broadly seek solutions to reduce carbon emissions. The bill went to Democratic Gov. Andrew Beshear on Monday for final approval.

The Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences performs research and development on the target station of an accelerator-driven system (ADS) under the China ADS project. A newly developed Monte Carlo program for the design of the target station named GMT1.0 is presented. The program is designed for a massively parallelized simulation of the initiative granular-flow target concept. Based on the combination of the Intranuclear Cascade of Leige (INCL) model and the ABLA evaporation/fission model, GMT1.0 integrates a particle transport code and a nuclear reaction code to simulate a spallation target. For validation, a series of calculations of neutronics characteristics and heat-deposit distributions of solid targets were performed, and a high degree of accuracy was shown for GMT1.0. Using GMT1.0, a systematic study of the neutron economy of the target was performed and the neutronics characteristics of the most optimal parameters were illustrated well.
