NRC begins special inspection at Hope Creek
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is conducting a special inspection at Hope Creek nuclear plant in New Jersey to investigate the cause of repeated inoperability of one of the plant’s emergency diesel generators, the agency announced in a February 25 news release.

Measurements of the energy spectra of delayed neutrons for the isotope-separated, fission product precursors 93-97Rb and 143-145Cs, over the energy region from ∼10 to ∼1300 keV, are reported. These data were obtained at the TRISTAN ISOL facility using gas-filled proton-recoil proportional counters. The data for each of the rubidium and cesium isotopes show good qualitative agreement with the existing 3He ionization chamber data at energies above ∼200 keV. In addition, they provide definitive spectral information down to ∼10 keV. Of particular note is the observation of line structure below ∼200 keV with energy resolution much better than that obtained using 3He ionization chambers.
