ANS joins others in seeking to discuss SNF/HLW impasse
The American Nuclear Society joined seven other organizations to send a letter to Energy Secretary Christopher Wright on July 8, asking to meet with him to discuss “the restoration of a highly functioning program to meet DOE’s legal responsibility to manage and dispose of the nation’s commercial and legacy defense spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW).”

All cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double-differential cross sections are consistently calculated and analyzed for n+64,66,67,68,70,natZn reactions over the incident neutron energy range from 0.001 to 200 MeV. The optical model, preequilibrium and equilibrium reaction theories, and the distorted wave Born approximation theory are used. Theoretical calculated results are compared with the existing experimental data and the evaluated results in JEFF-3.2 and JENDL-4.0.
