House E&C members question the DOE
As work progresses on the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program, which will progress through DOE authorization rather than Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing, three members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce have sent a critical letter to Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
The letter demands “information about the DOE and its employees’ dealings with the NRC and its staff” and expresses concern that DOE staff has “broken the firewall” between the departments.

A method is described to estimate deuteron-on-deuterium breakup neutron distributions at 0 deg using deuteron bombardment of 3He. Breakup neutron distributions are modeled with the product of a Fermi-Dirac distribution and a cumulative logistic distribution function. Four measured breakup neutron distributions from 6.15- to 12.0-MeV deuterons on 3He are compared with 13 measured distributions from 6.83- to 11.03-MeV deuterons on deuterium. Model parameters that describe d-3He neutron distributions are used to estimate neutron distributions from 6- to 12-MeV deuterons on deuterium.
