DOE signs two more OTAs in Reactor Pilot Program
This week, the Department of Energy has finalized two new other transaction agreements (OTAs) with participating companies in its Reactor Pilot Program, which aims to get one or two fast-tracked reactors on line by July 4 of this year. Those companies are Terrestrial Energy and Oklo.

Consistent calculation and analysis of neutron scattering data of 233,235,237U with optical model, semiclassical model including both the unified Hauser-Feshbach theory and the exciton model, the coupled channel theory, and distorted wave Born approximation were carried out in the En 20-MeV energy range based on the experimental data. In particular, the analysis includes the prompt fission neutron spectra and the double-differential cross section for neutron emission. Theoretical calculations are compared with recent experimental data and other evaluated data from ENDF/B-VI release 6 and JENDL-3.3.
