Task force charts growing interest in civilian maritime nuclear applications
Readers of Nuclear News will have heard of historical applications of civilian maritime nuclear power, like the merchant ship NS Savannah and the USS Sturgis floating power plant. With a few exceptions there has been little action in this area for over 50 years, and there are plenty of reasons and opinions as to why, but over the last few years the dramatic increase in interest from the maritime industry and its stakeholders has been undeniable.

All cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double differential cross sections are consistently calculated and analyzed for n+93Nb reaction at incident neutron energy up to 200 MeV based on the nuclear theoretical models. The theoretical calculated results are compared with the existing experimental data and the evaluated data in ENDF/B-VII, JENDL-4, and TENDL-2015. The calculated results agree with the experiential data.
