Nuclear News 40 Under 40 discuss the future of nuclear
Seven members of the inaugural Nuclear News 40 Under 40 came together on March 4 to discuss the current state of nuclear energy and what the future might hold for science, industry, and the public in terms of nuclear development.
To hear more insights from this talented group of young professionals, watch the “40 Under 40 Roundtable: Perspectives from Nuclear’s Rising Stars” on the ANS website.

A study of the average s- and þ-wave resonance parameters of 115In and 127I has been carried out by activation of samples in a 10B filtered beam of epithermal neutrons from a reactor. Neutron strength functions were obtained that are comparable to recent values obtained by total-cross-section studies but somewhat lower than earlier capture measurements. The s- and þ-wave neutron strength functions for 115In were found to be 0.09 ± 0.03 × 10−4 and 3.9 ± 1.4 × 10−4, respectively, and for 127I, the corresponding values were found to be 0.42 × 10−4 and 0.83 ± 0.20 × 10−4. The average energy-dependent neutron cross sections from 1 to 100 keV were computed for both isotopes from the experimentally determined resonance parameters.
