Deep Isolation asks states to include waste disposal in their nuclear strategy
Nuclear waste disposal technology company Deep Isolation is asking that the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) consider how spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste will be managed under its strategy for developing advanced nuclear power projects in participating states.

All cross sections of neutron-induced reactions, angular distributions, double-differential cross sections, and energy spectra for neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, helium, and alpha-particle emissions are consistently calculated and analyzed for 59Co with incident neutron energies below 20 MeV by using nuclear theoretical models, which are the optical model, preequilibrium and equilibrium reaction theories, and the distorted wave Born approximation theory. Theoretical calculated results are compared with existing experimental data and with evaluated data from ENDF/B-VII and JENDL-3.3.
