Who’s in the running for DOE Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses?
Today is the Department of Energy’s deadline for states to respond to a request for information on proposed Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses. Issued on January 28, the RFI marks the first step toward potentially establishing voluntary federal-state partnerships designed to build a coherent, end-to-end nuclear fuel cycle strategy for the country, including waste management, according to the DOE.

The time-dependent unseparated six delayed neutron group yields are calculated for thermal-neutron fission of 235U. These calculations are based on a recent reference set of delayed neutron precursors, available fission data, and fission systematics. The unseparated calculated time-dependent group yields are compared with separated group yields (groups based on half-life values) and the experimental unseparated group yields. The comparisons indicate the magnitude of the error involved when separated group yields are used for evaluating the accuracy of delayed neutron data. A total delayed neutron yield of 160.62 ± 11.52 per 104 fissions was obtained for thermal-neutron fission of 235U.
