Nuclear News 40 Under 40: The wait is over
Following the enthusiastic response from the nuclear community in 2024 for the inaugural NN 40 Under 40, the Nuclear News team knew we had to take up the difficult task in 2025 of turning it into an annual event—though there was plenty of uncertainty as to how the community would receive a second iteration this year. That uncertainty was unfounded, clearly, as the tight-knit nuclear community embraced the chance to celebrate its up-and-coming generation of scientists, engineers, and policy makers who are working to grow the influence of this oft-misunderstood technology.

A measurement of the neutron spectrum at the center of a large, dilute fast reactor is reported over the energy interval from 1 keV to 1 MeV. Resolution of the measurement was about 20% (FWHM) except at the lower energies. Errors in the measurement are described and a comparison made of the measured result with a multienergy-group calculation. There exists fair agreement between the measured spectrum and the multigroup calculation.
