EPA administrator Lee Zeldin talks the future of nuclear
In a recent interview on New York radio station 77 WABC, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin talked with host John Catsimatidis about the near-term future of the domestic nuclear industry and the role the EPA will play in the sector.
Catsimatidis kicked off the interview by asking if the U.S. will be able to reach total energy independence. Zeldin responded by saying that decreasing energy dependence on other countries, especially adversaries, was a top priority for him and the Trump administration.

The statistical method for calculating neutron cross sections in the unresolved resonance region has been extended to permit the construction of ladders for higher angular momentum neutrons and for all accessible spin states (and substates) of the compound nucleus. The new method is an improvement over existing methods in that a fitting procedure is adopted to ensure that the constructed sequence of resonances reproduces resonance integrals inferred from low-resolution experimental results. The s- and p-wave components of the capture cross section of 238U have been computed between 4 and 80 keV using a sequence of resonances obtained by fitting over the energy range 4 to 15 keV. The calculated 238U capture cross section is in excellent agreement with published data in the energy range 25 to 60 keV.
