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.”

The cross section for the reaction 35-h Rh105 (n,γ)30-sec Rh106 has been measured using a TRIGA reactor in the pulsed mode of operation as a neutron source. The effective thermal-neutron (0 to 0.5 eV) cross section was found to be 13 300 ± 1 500 b, relative to a 36-b cross section for Co59 . The cadmium ratio was observed to be ≥ 20 in a neutron flux for which a cadmium ratio of 7 was measured for cobalt.
