NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

On the basis of successful studies on the pickup mechanism of composite particle emission and the angular distribution of single-nucleon emissions, a theoretical method for calculating the doubledifferential cross section of alpha-particle emissions is proposed. As an example, the double-differential cross sections of alpha particles in the neutron-induced 56Fe(n,xα) reaction have been calculated at En = 14.5 MeV. The theoretical results reproduce the experimental data successfully.
