When your test capsule is the test: ORNL’s 3D-printed rabbit
Oak Ridge National Laboratory has, for the first time, designed, printed, and irradiated a specimen capsule—or rabbit capsule—for use in its High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), the Department of Energy announced on January 15.

The neutron capture cross section of 243Am was measured from 258 eV to 92 keV. The relative capture cross sections were normalized to 74.8 b at 0.0253 eV from ENDF/B-V. Agreement with the one previous measurement in the kilo-electron-volt neutron energy range is reasonably good (∼8%). These results are needed for calculating the buildup of higher actinides in operating reactors.
