EPA administrator Lee Zeldin talks the future of nuclear
In a recent interview on New York radio station 77 WABC, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin talked with host John Catsimatidis about the near-term future of the domestic nuclear industry and the role the EPA will play in the sector.
Catsimatidis kicked off the interview by asking if the U.S. will be able to reach total energy independence. Zeldin responded by saying that decreasing energy dependence on other countries, especially adversaries, was a top priority for him and the Trump administration.

The ENDF/B-V differential cross sections for neutron scattering from natural carbon below 2 MeV, recommended as standards for measurements and based on an R matrix analysis for 12C using natural carbon data, are revised to include 13C resonances for high-resolution applications. The recommended 13C cross sections are also based on an R matrix analysis of the available data. The 0.1529- and 1.736-MeV resonances rise above the natural carbon background by 7 and 1%, respectively. The angular distributions of the elastically scattered neutrons from 13C are generated by the R matrix theory. The final recommended cross sections and Legendre coefficients of angular distributions for natural carbon, adopted for ENDF/B-VI, are tabulated.
