Division Spotlight
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

The neutron scattering cross section of U233 has been measured relative to that of copper below 20 ev on the Materials Testing Reactor fast chopper. The observed scattering cross section is adequately described by previously obtained multilevel parameters, which give a value for the potential scattering of 12.6 b. The data are not of high enough quality to permit the assigning of spins to the resonances.
