Japan gets new U for enrichment as global power and fuel plans grow
President Trump is in Japan today, with a visit with new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on the agenda. Takaichi, who took office just last week as Japan’s first female prime minister, has already spoken in favor of nuclear energy and of accelerating the restart of Japan’s long-shuttered power reactors, as Reuters and others have reported. Much of the uranium to power those reactors will be enriched at Japan’s lone enrichment facility—part of Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd.’s Rokkasho fuel complex—which accepted its first delivery of fresh uranium hexafluoride (UF₆) in 11 years earlier this month.

An interactive graphic technique has been developed to analyze and interpret integral measurements. The method has been employed to carry out sensitivity studies and interactive data adjustments to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute flux measurements in an assembly of uranium depleted in 235U isotope. Adjustments (relative to ENDF/B-IV) in the total inelastic cross section and the secondary distribution are reported.
