Kentucky disburses $10M in nuclear grants
The Kentucky Nuclear Energy Development Authority (KNEDA) recently distributed its first awards through the new Nuclear Energy Development Grant Program, which was established last year. In total, KNEDA disbursed $10 million to a variety of companies that will use the funding to support siting studies, enrichment supply-chain planning, workforce training, and curriculum development.

The prompt- and delayed-neutron multiplicities for photofission of the eight isotopes, 232Th, 233U, 234U, 235U, 236U, 238U, 237Np, and 239Pu, have been measured using bremsstrahlung with end-point energies ranging from 8 to 13 MeV. The measured multiplicities are compared with those from the same compound nucleus formed in neutron-induced fission where such data exist.
