PR: American Nuclear Society welcomes Senate confirmation of Ted Garrish as the DOE’s nuclear energy secretary
Washington, D.C. — The American Nuclear Society (ANS) applauds the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Theodore “Ted” Garrish as Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
“On behalf of over 11,000 professionals in the fields of nuclear science and technology, the American Nuclear Society congratulates Mr. Garrish on being confirmed by the Senate to once again lead the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy,” said ANS President H.M. "Hash" Hashemian.

The four neutron groups populating the ground state and the lower three excited states of 28Si were studied with a stilbene neutron spectrometer. Total neutron cross sections were obtained from measurements at detection angles of 0, 45, 90, and 135 deg. A large number of resonances were seen, indicating many levels in 29Si. By using the reciprocity theorem, the cross sections for 28Si(n,α0)25Mg reaction were obtained and compared with those given in the literature.
