More than half of material thefts reported to IAEA occurred during transport
The International Atomic Energy Agency has said that more than half of all thefts of nuclear and other radioactive material reported to the agency’s Incident and Trafficking Database (ITDB) since 1993 occurred during authorized transport, with the share rising to nearly 70 percent in the past decade. The ITDB covers incidents involving nuclear material, radioisotopes, and radioactively contaminated material.

Cross sections were measured for the first time in the 5.4- to 10.6-MeV energy range for the 90Zr(n,p)90mY, 91 Zr(n,p)9lmY, 92Zr(n,p)92Y, 90Zr(n,a)87mSr, 94Zr(n,α)91Sr, and 96Zr(n,2n)95Zr reactions. The quasi-monoenergetic neutrons were produced via the 2H(d,n)3He reaction using a deuterium gas target at a variable energy compact cyclotron. Use was made of the activation technique in combination with high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. Some trends in the excitation functions are discussed.
