ANS joins others in seeking to discuss SNF/HLW impasse
The American Nuclear Society joined seven other organizations to send a letter to Energy Secretary Christopher Wright on July 8, asking to meet with him to discuss “the restoration of a highly functioning program to meet DOE’s legal responsibility to manage and dispose of the nation’s commercial and legacy defense spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW).”

The dependence of the total neutron cross section of crystalline and liquid aluminium was studied for energies between 0.003 ev and 0.009 ev. The results obtained for crystalline aluminium have shown that in the case of absence of texture they are in fair agreement with the calculated values. The study of liquid aluminium has shown that the scattering cross section determined by subtraction of the calculated absorption cross section from the measured total cross section, in the studied range, decreases with increasing wavelength.
