IEA report: Challenges need to be resolved to support global nuclear energy growth
The International Energy Agency published a new report this month outlining how continued innovation, government support, and new business models can unleash nuclear power expansion worldwide.
The Path to a New Era for Nuclear Energy report “reviews the status of nuclear energy around the world and explores risks related to policies, construction, and financing.”

Experimental measurements of the gamma-ray pulse-height distributions due to the products of fast-neutron-induced fission of 235U and 238U are presented. The measurements were made at nine selected times, ¼, ½, 1, 2, 5, 10, 24, 48, and 72 h after fission. Irradiation times and counting intervals were chosen to minimize saturation and decay effects. The experimental data were used to calculate 100 energy bin distributions of the absolute number of photons/(fission sec) by means of absolute calibrations of the collimated NaI(Tl) detector. The number of fissions in each sample was determined radiochemically. Machine computation was used extensively.
