EPRI’s new program aims to strengthen grid resilience
The Electric Power Research Institute has launched a global initiative to prepare future grids by modernizing how the electricity-generating sector detects, anticipates, and responds to emerging risks and manages technological transformation. The nonprofit energy research and development organization intends for the initiative, called Rapid Adaptation of Grid Defense, Analytics, and Resilience (RADAR), to provide a scalable framework, advanced tools, and targeted training for strengthening grid resilience and reliability.

To resolve a discrepancy in determinations of the 10B(n,α)7Li branching ratio, a new measurement has been made at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). The measurement was made with a 10BF3 gas proportional counter and monoenergetic 790-keV neutrons obtained at the NBS 3-MV Van de Graaff laboratory. A branching ratio of 0.66 ± 0.03 was obtained. This determination agrees with the measurements of Petree et al. and Davis et al.
