U.K. releases new plans to speed nuclear deployment
In an effort to revamp its nuclear sector and enable the buildout of new projects, the U.K. has unveiled a sweeping set of changes to project deployment. These changes, which are set to come into effect by the end of next year, will restructure the country’s regulatory and environmental approval framework and directly support new growth through various workforce efforts.

The total neutron cross section of 233U was measured between 40 keV and 4.5 MeV. “Monoenergetic” neutrons were used over the total energy range with the time-of-flight (TOF) technique employed for background suppression. At lower energies (<200 keV), pseudo-white spectra TOF techniques were also used. Present results are up to 10% higher than previous measurements between 40 and 500 keV, and a similar difference exists relative to the evaluated nuclear data file ENDF/B-IV.
