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.”

Resonance integral calculations are done for 232Th infinite dilute, 232Th metal rod, and 232Th02 rod systems. Doppler effect calculations are performed for 232 Th02 rod systems for temperatures up to 2000°K. The resolved resonance integral for rod systems at each temperature is evaluated by Monte Carlo calculations and the resonance overlap effect between the two resonances of Th at 21.78 and 23.45 eV is taken into account. The unresolved s- and p-wave contributions were computed by standard methods. The data describing the resolved resonance parameters up to 3 keV (гγ = 25.9 meV) recommended in BNL-325 (Supplement No. 2, 1965) are used in these calculations. The p-wave strength function in the unresolved energy range is taken to be 1.83 x 10 -4 (eV)-1/2. The calculated resonance integrals and Doppler coefficients are compared with measurements and they are found to be in excellent agreement with each other.
