GLE gets incentives, draft EIS
The governments of Kentucky and McCracken County have granted preliminary approval to Global Laser Enrichment for a comprehensive incentive package to support the development of the North Carolina–based company’s planned Paducah Laser Enrichment Facility in the western part of the state. The performance-based incentive package would provide as much as $98.9 million in tax incentives and other economic incentives—provided that GLE reaches the required thresholds in investments and job creation.
In addition, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has completed a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) in response to GLE’s application to construct and operate the PLEF. Members of the public can submit comments on the draft EIS by May 11 for consideration by the NRC.

The medium-mass structural material titanium has been extensively applied in the nuclear reactor systems of fission or fusion, and related data are also urgently needed. In the present work, all reaction cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double-differential cross sections are consistently calculated and analyzed for the n+48Ti reaction below 200 MeV. The theoretical calculations are compared with the experimental data, together with the evaluated results in the ENDF/B-VIII.0, JENDL-4.0, and JEFF-3.3 libraries. In general, these results provide a satisfactory description of the corresponding experimental data.
