The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

Resonance parameters, particularly the radiative width of the 292.36-eV s-wave level in 91Zr + n, have been reinvestigated. The spin assignment J = 2+ is supported. The neutron width Γn = (866 ± 11) meV and radiative width Γγ = (86.8 ± 2.2) meV indicate less neutron capture than do parameters derived from earlier studies. This lower capture, however, is more compatible with integral measurements and a lead slowing down spectrometer measurement.
