U.K. releases new plans to speed nuclear deployment
In an effort to revamp its nuclear sector and enable the buildout of new projects, the U.K. has unveiled a sweeping set of changes to project deployment. These changes, which are set to come into effect by the end of next year, will restructure the country’s regulatory and environmental approval framework and directly support new growth through various workforce efforts.

An equation for the total charge available for release from unit length of an emitter undergoing betaparticle decay in a self-powered neutron detector is derived. This derivation is based on a calculational model of the current response of a self-powered neutron detector developed by us earlier. The charge available from a Babcock & Wilcox standard rhodium in-core detector calculated by this equation compares favorably with the experimentally observed value.
