Department of Energy Under Secretary for Science and Genesis Mission lead Darío Gil participated in a session at the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference on March 17 that coincided with the announcement of the DOE’s $293 million Genesis Mission request for applications, which invites interdisciplinary teams to submit ideas for projects addressing over 20 of Genesis’s stated national challenges, several of which focus on accelerating nuclear research and nuclear energy output.
“We seek breakthrough ideas and novel collaborations leveraging the scientific prowess of our national laboratories, the private sector, universities, and science philanthropies,” said Gil.

Monte Carlo analysis of the measurements of Smith et al. of the number of fission neutrons produced per neutron absorbed, η, for 2200 m/sec neutrons absorbed by 233U and 235U yields: = 2.2993 ± 0.0082 and = 2.0777 ± 0.0064. The standard deviations include Monte Carlo, cross-section, and experimental uncertainties. The Monte Carlo analysis was confirmed by calculating measured quantities used by the experimentalists in determining η2200.
