PR: American Nuclear Society welcomes Senate confirmation of Ted Garrish as the DOE’s nuclear energy secretary
Washington, D.C. — The American Nuclear Society (ANS) applauds the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Theodore “Ted” Garrish as Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
“On behalf of over 11,000 professionals in the fields of nuclear science and technology, the American Nuclear Society congratulates Mr. Garrish on being confirmed by the Senate to once again lead the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy,” said ANS President H.M. "Hash" Hashemian.

The neutron capture yield in two 232Th samples (0.0008 and 0.0027 atom/b, respectively) was measured with the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator time-of-flight facility over incident neutron energies from 100 to 4000 eV. A detailed comparison of the measured capture yields with calculations based on ENDF/B-V resonance parameters suggests that above 500 eV the evaluation needs additional work; in particular, the average capture appears systematically underestimated.
