U.K. government to take over Hunterston B for decommissioning
Beginning April 1, the U.K.’s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and its subsidiary Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS) will take over the closed Hunterston B nuclear power plant for decommissioning. Located in North Ayrshire, Scotland, Hunterston B was shut down in 2022 after 46 years of service and is one of seven advanced gas-cooled reactor stations owned and operated by EDF Energy in the United Kingdom.

The total neutron cross section of 241Am was determined from transmission data obtained at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory 100-MeV electron Linac for the neutron energy range from 0.5 to 25 MeV Neutron energies were measured using the time-of-flight technique. The transmission of a 12C sample was measured simultaneously to test the precision of this experiment. The measured 241Am cross section is compared with the evaluated data files, and discrepancies are noted.
