NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

Differential cross sections are reported for elastic and inelastic scattering of neutrons from beryllium. Source neutrons were provided by the D(d,n)3 He reaction at energies from 7 to 15 MeV in 1-MeV steps. Scattered neutrons were observed over a flight path of 4 m at angles ranging from 25 to 160 deg in 5-deg increments. The integrated elastic scattering cross sections agree well with the ENDF/BIV cross-section set. The inelastic scattering cross sections are for the sum of the 1.69-, 2.43-, 2.8-, and 3.06-MeV-state cross sections and fall below the ENDF/B-IV predictions. Inelastic scattering to the 2.43-MeV state in 9Be accounts for less than half of the total 9Be(n,2n) cross sections above 8 MeV.
