The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

The Interlaboratory LMFBR Reaction Rates program involves the determination of rates of neutron-induced reactions by the measurement of gamma-ray spectra from the decay of radioactive reaction products. A goal of the program is to determine certain nonfission reaction rates to an accuracy of ±5% and certain fission-product rates to ± %. These determinations require a knowledge of two nuclear decay scheme parameters: (a) the half-life, and (b) one or more absolute gamma-ray intensities. An evaluation of the experimental data on these parameters has been carried out for 20 isotopes, including 6 fission products. The uncertainties in these parameters have also been evaluated.
