From Capitol Hill: Nuclear is back, critical for America’s energy future
The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy convened its first hearing of the year, “American Energy Dominance: Dawn of the New Nuclear Era,” on January 7, where lawmakers and industry leaders discussed how nuclear energy can help meet surging electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, advanced manufacturing, and national security needs.

Time-of-flight measurements of the neutron angular flux spectrum in graphite have been made to provide a standard of comparison for neutron penetration calculations. The spectrum from 0.002 eV to 15 MeV was measured with an accuracy of ±13 to 32% and a resolution of ±2 to 10%, at angles from 0 to 60° and penetrations to 66 cm. Comparisons with Monte Carlo and discrete ordinates calculations using ENDF/B cross sections indicate fairly good agreement except in resonances and near zero degrees for discrete ordinates. Scalar fluxes have also been calculated with the moments method.
