EPA administrator Lee Zeldin talks the future of nuclear
In a recent interview on New York radio station 77 WABC, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin talked with host John Catsimatidis about the near-term future of the domestic nuclear industry and the role the EPA will play in the sector.
Catsimatidis kicked off the interview by asking if the U.S. will be able to reach total energy independence. Zeldin responded by saying that decreasing energy dependence on other countries, especially adversaries, was a top priority for him and the Trump administration.

Activation cross sections for 14 (n, 2n) and 5 (n, p) reactions on xenon isotopes have been determined with 14.6-MeV neutrons using sodium perxenate and Ge(Li) gamma-ray spectroscopy. The values obtained are compared to the one earlier set of measurements on the xenon isotopes and to theoretical or empirical values. The 128Xe(n,p)128I cross section is reported for the first time.
